People drawn by the dream, people running from the nightmare. Twelve million people and all of them ready to make a break for it if necessary.

And by the way, wishing and dreaming doesn't mean concentrating on what you don't have, it's positive thinking that encourages hoping and believing, not whinging and moaning.	hopes hoping inspirational options positive wishing	Cecelia Ahern
