-Bertrand Russell
"Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night."

"The young (in Lebanon) will have more influence than any previous generation because, for the first time, the majority of them are literate. They are also connected enough to the outside world to be deeply dissatisfied with the status quo at home. They are the dreamers."
-Robin Wright, Dreamers and Shadows: The Future of the Middle East
