Not exactly a quote, but I love this bit of poetry, it just reads as so beautiful:

Had I the heavens’ embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths

I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly, because you tread on my dreams.

-- William Butler Yeats
