Alguns homens vêem as coisas como são, e dizem 'Por quê?' Eu sonho com as coisas que nunca foram e digo 'Por que não ?

"Ves cosas y dices, "¿por qué?" Pero yo sueño cosas que nunca fueron y digo, "¿por qué no?"."

Some men see things as they are and ask why. Others dream things that never were and ask why not.

Some men see things as they are, and say, ‘Why?’ I dream of things that never were, and say, ‘Why not?’” — GEORGE BERNARD SHAW

There are those that look at things the way they are, and ask why? I dream of things that never were, and ask why not?

I hear you say 'Why?' Always 'Why?' You see things; and you say 'Why?' But I dream things that never were; and I say 'Why not?

"Manche Menschen sehen die Dinge, wie sie sind, und fragen: "Warum?" Ich träume von Dingen, die es noch nie gegeben hat, und frage: „Warum nicht?"

Some men <i>think</i> because they're afraid to <i>do</i>.

Men will not look at things as they really are, but as they wish them to be — and are ruined.

Considerando que quaisquer pensamentos que nos ocorrem quando estamos acordados nos podem também ocorrer enquanto dormimos, sem que exista nenhum, nesse caso, que seja correto, decidi fazer de conta que todas as coisas que até então haviam entrado no meu espírito não eram mais corretas do que as ilusões de meus sonhos.

No habiendo podido los hombres
remediar la muerte
la miseria y la ignorancia,
han imaginado, para ser felices,
no pensar en absoluto en ellas.

It's the truth, even if it didn't happen...

...if they don't exist, how can a man see them?

A man may imagine things that are false, but he can only understand things that are true.

هناك أشياء يستطيع الإنسان أن يتذكرها ولو أنها لم تحدث إطلاقا. هناك أمور أتذكرها ربما لم تحدث أبدا، لكن عندما أسترجعها تحتل مكانا في خيالي.
