Tacking

"Only what we dream is what we truly are, because all the rest, having been realized, belong to the world and to everyone. If I were to realize a dream, I'd be jealous, for it would have betrayed me by allowing itself to be realized. I've achieved everything I wanted, says the feeble man, and it's a lie; the truth is that he prophetically dreamed all that life achieved through him. We achieved nothing. Life hurls us like a stone, and we sail through the air saying, 'look at me move.'"
