Sounds to me like starting all again, and forming a new life on new goals
The actual meaning of this quote depends on the person. I don't mean the way a person interprets it, but the way they react to what the quote is saying.
Some people may have all of their dreams crushed and forget about it, but that doesn't mean they'll recover from it.
Others will have all of their dreams crushed and use the emotions they feel from it (mainly anger) to fuel or inspire something else they eventually do. I would say this situation is most commonly seen in any forms of art.
Er, wouldn't that just be someone with no dreams? Aka nothing to strive for.
Really like this quote, whose is it?
