Real Quotes (page 107)

What is real to me is the power of our awareness when we are focused on something beyond ourselves. It is a shaft of light shining in a dark corner. Our ability to shift our perceptions and seek creative alternatives to the conondrums of modernity is in direct proportion to our empathy. Can we imagine, witness, and ultimately feel the suffering of another? Terry Tempest Williams
The statement that there is any such thing, and the statement that there is no such thing, are niether of them statements that science can make. And real scientists do not usually make them. It is usually the journalists and popular novelists who have picked up a few odds and ends of half-baked science from textbooks who go in for them. C. S. Lewis
Janet Evanovich quote: "I met a real looker. He picked me up at the two dollar slot..."
I met a real looker. He picked me up at the two dollar slot machines, so you know he's no cheapskate."Grandma Mazur Janet Evanovich
The line of gray along the horizon is brighter now, and with the coming light I feel a certainty: that there is, despite our wild imaginings, only one life. The ghostly others, no matter how real they seem, no matter how badly we need them, are phantoms. The one life we're left with is sufficient to fill and refill our imperfect hearts with joy, and then to shatter them. And it never, ever lets up. Richard Russo
Now he knew: They were real. Who’d make up a thing like this? Okay, one of them was a cheese that rolled around of its own accord, but nobody was perfect. Terry Prachett
Stanislaw Lec quote: "Their bodies were so close together that there was no room for..."
Their bodies were so close together that there was no room for real affection. Stanislaw Lec
Betty Friedan quote: "Man is not the enemy here, but the fellow victim. The real..."
Man is not the enemy here, but the fellow victim. The real enemy is women's denigration of themselves. Betty Friedan
It's and odd thing, but however much an oficionado one may be of mysteries in book form, when they pop up in real life they seldom fail to give one the pip. P. G. Wodehouse
The real reason that we can’t have the Ten Commandments in a courthouse: You cannot post “Thou shalt not steal,” “Thou shalt not commit adultery,” and “Thou shalt not lie” in a building full of lawyers, judges, and politicians. It creates a hostile work environment. George Carlin
Sane and intelligent human beings are like all other human beings, and carefully and cautiously and diligently conceal their private real opinions from the world and give out fictitious ones in their stead for general consumption. Mark Twain
The real test of a man is not when he plays the role that he wants for himself but when he plays the role destiny has for him. Vaclav Havel
How much truth can a spirit bear, how much truth can a spirit dare? ... that became for me more and more the real measure of value. Friedrich Nietzsche
What a wee little part of a person's life are his acts and his words! His real life is led in his head, and is known to none but himself. All day long, the mill of his brain is grinding, and his thoughts, not those of other things, are his history. These are his life, and they are not written. Everyday would make a whole book of 80,000 words -- 365 books a year. Biographies are but the clothes and buttons of the man -- the biography of the man himself cannot be written. Mark Twain
She was considered timid and morose. Only in the country, her skin tanned by the sun and her belly full of ripe fruit, running through the fields with Pedro Tercero, was she smiling and happy. Her mother said that that was the real Blanca, and that the other one, the one back in the city, was a Blanca in hibernation. Isabel Allende
And that's just the beginning. More and more, conventional wisdom says that the responsible thing is to make the unemployed suffer. And while the benefits from inflicting pain are an illusion, the pain itself will be all too real. Paul Krugman
