We must never stop dreaming. Dreams provide nourishment for the soul, just as a meal does for the body.

The line frames dreaming not as escapism but as a basic human need. By comparing dreams to food, it suggests that inner life—hopes, aspirations, imaginative vision—sustains resilience and meaning the way physical nourishment sustains the body. The imperative “must never stop” implies that abandoning dreams leads to a kind of spiritual malnutrition: diminished vitality, purpose, and capacity to endure hardship. In Coelho’s typical spiritual-quest register, the quote also hints that dreams guide action; they are not merely fantasies but sources of direction and renewal. The metaphor elevates desire and imagination into moral and psychological necessities, encouraging readers to protect them against cynicism and routine.
