Real Quotes (page 63)

Masturbation is not only an expression of self-regard: it is also the natural emotional outlet of those who, before anything has reared its ugly head, have already accepted as inevitable the wide gulf between their real futures and the expectations of their fantasies. The habit fitted snugly into my well-established world of make-believe. Quentin Crisp
But technology is the real skin of our species. Humanity, correctly seen in the context of the last five hundred years, is an extruder of technological material. We take in matter that has a low degree of organization; we put it through mental filters, and we extrude jewelry, gospels, space shuttles. This is what we do. We are like coral animals embedded in a technological reef of extruded psychic objects. All our tool making implies our belief in an ultimate tool. That tool is the flying... Terence McKenna
The death of a real deer at my hands was just a vaporous, remote presence that hovered over the figure of the paper deer forty-five yards away at target six of our archery range, as I tried to hit the heart-lung section marked out in heavy black. James Dickey
I fully agree with you about the significance and educational value of methodology as well as history and philosophy of science. So many people today - and even professional scientists - seem to me like somebody who has seen thousands of trees but has never seen a forest. A knowledge of the historic and philosophical background gives that kind of independence from prejudices of his generation from which most scientists are suffering. This independence created by philosophical insight is - in... Albert Einstein
When children are very young, they have natural curiosities about the world and explore them, trying diligently to figure out what is real. As they become "producers " they fall away from exploration and start fishing for the right answers with little thought. They believe they must always be right, so they quickly forget mistakes and how these mistakes were made. They believe that the only good response from the teacher is "yes," and that a "no" is defeat. John Holt
One who transmuted things from formlessness and shapelessness into that-which-was-not-real, but without which the real would have no meaning Neil Gaiman
Andrew Carnegie quote: "Do real and permanent good in this world."
Do real and permanent good in this world. Andrew Carnegie
The harder I try to realistically portray real things, the more the things that appear in my work have a tendency to become unreal. Haruki Murakami
It is an illusion that youth is happy: an illusion of those who have lost it; but the young know they are wretched, for they are full of the truthless ideals which have been instilled into them, and each time they come into contact with the real, they are bruised and wounded... they must discover for themselves that all they have read and been been told [by their elders] are lies, lies, lies; and each discovery is another nail driven into the body of the cross of life. W. Somerset Maugham
Piers Anthony quote: "Every person professes to love good and hate evil, but in his..."
Every person professes to love good and hate evil, but in his actions his real preferences emerges. Piers Anthony
You’re wrong. She is a phony. But on the other hand you’re right. She isn’t a phony because she’s a real phony. She believes all this crap she believes. You can’t talk her out of it. Truman Capote
I would like to believe this is a story I’m telling. I need to believe it. I must believe it. Those who can believe that such stories are only stories have a better chance. If it’s a story I’m telling, then I have control over the ending. Then there will be an ending, to the story, and real life will come after it. I can pick up where I left off. Margaret Atwood
Hilary Duff quote: "This was real. And it was me. I had lived that life, and I had..."
This was real. And it was me. I had lived that life, and I had died that death. I was staring at the very end of me. Hilary Duff
The Lord commands us to do good unto all men without exception, though the majority are very undeserving when judged according to their own merits... [The Scripture] teaches us that we must not think of man's real value, but only of his creation in the image of God to which we owe all possible honor and love. John Calvin
Naguib Mahfouz quote: "The real malady is fear of life, not of death"
The real malady is fear of life, not of death Naguib Mahfouz
