Real Quotes (page 162)

It is a waste of time to see people who have only a social surface to show. I will make every effort to find out the real person, but if I can't, then I am upset and cross. Time wasted is poison. May Sarton
Apparently, then, our lifelong nostalgia, our longing to be reunited with something in the universe from which we now feel cut off, to be on the inside of some door which we have always seen from the outside, is no mere neurotic fancy, but the truest index of our real situation. And to be at last summoned inside would be both glory and honour beyond all our merits and also the healing of that old ache. C. S. Lewis
I found that things became a lot easier when I no longer expected to win. You abandon your masterpiece and sink into the real masterpiece. Leonard Cohen
Once I start work on a project, I don’t stop and I don’t slow down unless I absolutely have to. If I don’t write every day, the characters begin to stale off in my mind – they begin to seem like characters instead of real people. The tale’s narrative cutting edge starts to rust and I begin to lose my hold on the story’s plot and pace. Worst of all, the excitement of spinning something new begins to fade. The work starts to feel like work, and for most writers that is the smooch of death. Stephen King
Religion and ethics were not always - or even frequently - mutually compatible. The demands of religious absolutism or fundamentalism or rampaging relativism often deflected the worst aspects of contemporary culture or prejudices rather than a system which both man and God could live under with a sense of real justice. Dan Simmons
Humility is the mother of all virtues; purity, charity and obedience. It is in being humble that our love becomes real, devoted and ardent. If you are humble nothing will touch you, neither praise nor disgrace, because you know what you are. If you are blamed you will not be discouraged. If they call you a saint you will not put yourself on a pedestal. Mother Teresa
Jonathan Franzen quote: "Alfred believed that the real and the true were a minority..."
Alfred believed that the real and the true were a minority that the world was bent on exterminating. Jonathan Franzen
John Fowles quote: "We are all in flight from the real reality. That is the basic..."
We are all in flight from the real reality. That is the basic definition of Homo Sapiens. John Fowles
The Earth slowly keeps on turning. But beyond any of those details of the real, there are dreams. And everyone's living in them. Haruki Murakami
Now off the escalator and into the casino, big crowds still tight around the crap tables. Who are these people? These faces! Where do they come from? They look like caricatures of used-car dealers from Dallas. But they’re real. And, sweet Jesus, there are a hell of a lot of them – still screaming around these desert-city crap tables at four-thirty on a Sunday morning. Still humping the American Dream, that vision of the Big Winner somehow emerging from the last- minute pre-dawn chaos of a... Hunter S. Thompson
Ludwig Wittgenstein quote: "The real question of life after death isn't whether or not it..."
The real question of life after death isn't whether or not it exists, but even if it does what problem this really solves. Ludwig Wittgenstein
There can be no real attachment to the given creation, no genuine responsibility in the world, unless we recognize the breach which already separates us from it. Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The facts and techniques or whatever they teach you in class isn't going to be veryuseful in the real world, that's for sure. Haruki Murakami
Victor Hugo quote: "The soul in the darkness sins, but the real sinner is he who..."
The soul in the darkness sins, but the real sinner is he who caused the darkness. Victor Hugo
I would like to be able to say that she broke my heart but I know better. I broke my own heart. I can't say that she did it and get behind that statement in any real way. I know too much. The only one I can blame for my loneliness is myself. Even if I did think that she did it to me I wouldn't feel any better. Tonight I was watching a movie and this actor in the film looked like her when she had a profile shot. She did not break my heart I did. I don't know why I would do something this... Henry Rollins
