If you are going to build something in the air it is always better to build castles than houses of cards.

Georg C. Lichtenberg

You build dreams, you build castles in the air, and you hope that at least part of that will be realized, even under apartheid.

Winnie Madikizela-Mandela

If you don't build castles in the air you won't build anything on the ground.

Victor Hugo

Tis best to build no castles in the air.

Fanny Burney

While writing, writers are living inside a character or characters, and when the book ekes into the world, writers are living inside the reader. That's more than connecting.

Lauren Groff

I am longing to be with you, and by the sea, where we can talk together freely and build our castles in the air.

Bram Stoker

My thoughts by night are often filled With visions false as fair: For in the past alone, I build My castles in the air.

Thomas Love Peacock

Vote Labor and you build castles in the air. Vote Conservative and you can live in them.

David Frost

Vote Labor, and you build castles in the air. Vote Conservative, and you can live in them.

Castles in the air - they are so easy to take refuge in. And so easy to build too.

Henrik Ibsen

Neurotics build castles in the air, psychotics live in them. My mother cleans them.

Rita Rudner

And the National Socialists believe that they can afford to ignore the world or oppose it, and build their castles-in-the-air without creating a possibly silent, but very palpable reaction from abroad.

Oswald Spengler

I have a total responsibility to the reader. The reader has to trust me and never feel betrayed. There's a double standard between writers and readers. Readers can be unfaithful to writers anytime they like, but writers must never ever be unfaithful to the readers. And it's appropriate, because the writer is getting paid and the reader isn't.

Jonathan Santlofer

I am not afraid to dream. You first have to start with a dream. Build your castles in the air and give it foundation. Without a dream, you are not going to get anywhere.

Kofi Annan

There are certain half-dreaming moods of mind in which we naturally steal away from noise and glare, and seek some quiet haunt where we may indulge our reveries and build our air castles undisturbed.

Washington Irving

Real writers-that is, capital W Writers-rarely make much money. Their biggest reward is the occasional reader's response.... Commentators-in-print voicing big fat opinions-you might call us small w writers-get considerably more feedback than Writers. The letters I personally find most flattering are not the very rare ones that speak well of my editorials, but the occasional reader who wants to know who writes them. I always happily assume the letter-writers is implying that the editorials are so good that I couldn't have written them myself.
