(19) "This is confusing," he remarked in a tone of argument. "Let's sit down and have a pipe over it--we shall have to
differentiate ourselves before we start out into the world together."...
(20) "Let's differentiate our names somehow," said the pleasant-voiced one lazily--"Did your godfathers, etc., do anything
more for you than Edward--mine didn't."
(21) The other shook his head. Something in his handsome face had already differentiated itself from the amused curiosity
on his companion's.
(22) "That's awkward-we shall be driven to abbreviations. You shall be Ted, and I Ned-both dentals but philologically

Which line in the excerpt from Eugene O'Neill's Beyond the Horizon reflects the idea of pursuing one's dreams?
ROBERT: You'll have to, to understand. Well, in those days, when Ma was fixing meals, she used to get me out of the way by pushing my chair to the west window and telling me to look out and be quiet. That wasn't hard. I guess I was always quiet.

RUTH: (compassionately) Yes, you always were—and you suffering so much, too!

ROBERT: (musingly) So I used to stare out over the fields to the hills, out there—(He points to the horizon) and somehow after a time I’d forget any pain I was in, and start dreaming. I knew the sea was over beyond those hills,—the folks had told me—and I used to wonder what the sea was like, and try to form a picture of it in my mind. (With a smile) There was all the mystery in the world to me then about that—far-off sea—and there still is! It called to me then just as it does now. (After a slight pause) And other times my eyes would follow this road, winding off into the distance, toward the hills, as if it, too, was searching for the sea. And I’d promise myself that when I grew up and was strong, I’d follow that road, and it and I would find the sea together. (With a smile) You see, my making this trip is only keeping that promise of long ago.
