What is your dream? What is your mission? What is your goal? And you do have one. I hope you do have one. I remember Neville saying that several times. I do hope you have a dream, because you see, that’s what we’re told to do: to dream the dream. And it’s supposed to be a dream, not a nightmare.
Neville (as quoted): "I do hope you have a dream"
