I dream of things that never were by George Bernard Shaw

Some men see things as they are and say, "Why?" I dream of things that never were and say, "Why not?"

paraphrase of Shaw, often attributed to Robert F. (Bobby) Kennedy, who used it in a speech which his brother, Edward F. (Teddy) Kennedy quoted at RFK's funeral.

I dream things that never were..by George Bernard Shaw

You see things; and you say, "Why?" But I dream things that never were; and I say, "Why not?"
