Top 8 Quotes & Sayings by Timothy Freke

When I compare life to a dream I do not mean to denigrate it as some sort of meaningless fantasy. Life is too wonderful to be called an "illusion" unless we whisper the word in amazement, as we might when witnessing the most astonishing magic trick.

Its harsh necessities and lush sensuality. This dream of life is truly marvelous.
