Dreams Quote by Tim Tharp
““She’s still smiling her little smile, and it strikes me that, actually, she is drunk, not on alcohol, but on her St. Louis hopes and dreams. I wouldn’t sober her up for anything, but she doesn’t need me anymore. She can hang on to her dreams by herself now.””

![“Emma smiled. “Hope is a beautiful and fragile thing.” Unless your hope is in something so much bigger than your plans. Tears gathered into Kate’s eyes[.] Her hopes and dreams were like butterflies. Yet, God’s plans were moving forward, unchanging like the rocks around her. God wasn’t fragile…” quote by Sarah Holman](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/3eb/sarah-holman-25148_christian-life_emma-smiled-hope-is-a-beautiful-and-frag_114286.jpg)
