The waking have one world in common; sleepers have each a private world of his own.

The waking have one common world, but the sleeping turn aside each into a world of his own.

The awake share a common world, but the asleep turn aside into private worlds.

Sleeping people live in their own world; only those who are awake have a world in common.

The waking have one world
in common. Sleepers
meanwhile turn aside, each
into a darkness of his own.

When we are asleep in this world, we are awake in another.

Alas, everything that men say to one another is alike; the ideas they exchange are almost always the same, in their conversation. But inside all those isolated machines, what hidden recesses, what secret compartments! It is an entire world that each one carries within him, an unknown world that is born and dies in silence! What solitudes all these human bodies are!

Every man carries within himself a world made up of all that he has seen and loved; and it is to this world that he returns, incessantly, though he may pass through and seem to inhabit a world quite foreign to it.

To men in their sleep there is nothing granted in this world.

There is one mind common to all individual men. Every man is an inlet to the same and to all of the same. He that is once admitted to the right of reason is made a freeman of the whole estate. What Plato has thought, he may think; what a saint has felt, he may feel; what at any time has befallen any man, he can understand. Who hath access to this universal mind is a party to all that is or can be done, for this is the only and sovereign agent.

Other men are unaware of what they do when they are awake just as they are forgetful of what they do when they are asleep.

All men dream; but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dreams with open eyes, to make it possible.

Com os olhos abertos, repartimos o mesmo mundo; com os olhos fechados cada um de nós penetra o seu próprio mundo.
