Dreams Quote by Peter S. Beagle

“I think that love is stronger than habits or circumstances. I think it is possible to keep yourself for someone for a long time, and still remember why you were waiting when she comes at last… I would enter your sleep if I could, and guard you there, and slay the thing that hounds you, as I would…” quote by Peter S.

““I think that love is stronger than habits or circumstances. I think it is possible to keep yourself for someone for a long time, and still remember why you were waiting when she comes at last… I would enter your sleep if I could, and guard you there, and slay the thing that hounds you, as I would if it had the courage to face me in fair daylight. But I cannot come in unless you dream of me.””

Peter S. Beagle
