Real Quotes (page 104)

Ruth Rendell quote: "We always know when we are awake that we cannot be dreaming..."
We always know when we are awake that we cannot be dreaming even though when actually dreaming we feel all this may be real. Ruth Rendell
It is my mind, with its store of images, that gives the world color and sound; and that supremely real and rational certainty which I can "experience" is, in its most simple form, an exceedingly complicated structure of mental images. Thus there is, in a certain sense, nothing that is directly experienced except the mind itself. Everything is mediated through the mind, translated, filtered, allegorized, twisted, even falsified by it. We are . . . enveloped in a cloud of changing and endlessly... Carl Jung
John Lennon quote: "The more real you get the more unreal the world gets."
The more real you get the more unreal the world gets. John Lennon
Andre Breton quote: "What is admirable about the fantastic is that there is no..."
What is admirable about the fantastic is that there is no longer anything fantastic: there is only the real. Andre Breton
Deepak Chopra quote: "Either you're a person wondering if you have a soul, or you're..."
Either you're a person wondering if you have a soul, or you're a soul who knows that being a person isn't real. Deepak Chopra
If my duty to my parents is a superstition, then so is my duty to posterity. If justice is a superstition, then so is my duty to my country or my race. If the pursuit of scientific knowledge is a real value, then so is conjugal fidelity. The rebellion of new ideologies against the Tao is a rebellion of the branches against the tree: if the rebels could succeed they would find that they had destroyed themselves. C. S. Lewis
Bruce Springsteen quote: "Talk about a dream, try to make it real"
Talk about a dream, try to make it real Bruce Springsteen
Occult Medicine is essentially sympathetic. Reciprocal affection, or at least real goodwill, must exist between doctor and patient. Syrups and juleps have very little inherent virtue; they are what they become through the mutual opinion of operator and subject; hence homoeopathic medicine dispenses with them and no serious inconvenience follows. Eliphas Levi
To devote yourself to the creation and enjoyment of beauty, then, can be a serious business—not always necessarily a means of escaping reality, but sometimes a means of holding on to the real when everything is flaking away into… rhetoric and plot. Elizabeth Gilbert
This was another of our fears: that Life wouldn't turn out to be like Literature. Look at our parents--were they the stuff of Literature? At best, they might aspire to the condition of onlookers and bystanders, part of a social backdrop against which real, true, important things could happen. Like what? The things Literature was about: Love, sex, morality, friendship, happiness, suffering, betrayal, adultery, good and evil, heroes and villains, guilt and innocence, ambition, power, justice,... Julian Barnes
Often one spends weeks trying to write a poem out of the conscious mind that never comes to anything - these are sort of 'ideal' poems that one feels ought to be written, but don't because (I fancy) they lack the vital spark of self-interest. A 'real' poem is a pleasure to write. Philip Larkin
I believed that I was approaching the end of my days without having tasted to the full any of the pleasures for which my heart thirsted...without having ever tasted that passion which, through lack of an object, was always suppressed. ...The impossibility of attaining the real persons precipitated me into the land of chimeras; and seeing nothing that existed worthy of my exalted feelings, I fostered them in an ideal world which my creative imagination soon peopled with beings after my own... Jean-Jacques Rousseau
I don't believe any real artists have ever been non-political. They may have been insensitive to this particular plight or insensitive to that, but they were political, because that's what an artist is--a politician. Toni Morrison
Frank Herbert quote: "Whether a thought is spoken or not it is a real thing and has..."
Whether a thought is spoken or not it is a real thing and has powers of reality. Frank Herbert
These were the companions who justified my principles, who gave me the strength to continue against any foe, real or imagined. These were the companions who fought the helplessness, the rage, and frustration. These were the friends who gave me my life. R. A. Salvatore
