Real Quotes (page 66)

None of the people have any real interest in a science, who only begin to be enthusiastic about it when they themselves have made discoveries in it. Friedrich Nietzsche
The only real radicalism in our time will come as it always has—from people who insist on thinking for themselves and who reject party-mindedness. Christopher Hitchens
The kind of happy I was that day at the Vet when "Hawk" Dawson actually doffed his red "C" cap to me, and everyone cheered and practically convulsed into tears - you can't patent that. It was one shining moment of glory that was instantly gone. Whereas life, real life, is different and can't even be appraised as simply "happy", but only in terms of "Yes, I'll take it all, thanks" or "No, I believe I won't." Happy, as my poor father used to say, is a lot of hooey. Happy is a circus clown, a... Richard Ford
I dare say, my remark came from the professional feeling of there being nothing like leather.[Mr. Hale--about books; reminding me of my statement that "there is nothing like holding a real book in your hands"] Elizabeth Gaskell
We read books to find out who we are. What other people, real or imaginary, do and think and feel... is an essential guide to our understanding of what we ourselves are and may become. Ursula K. Le Guin
Most of us have learned to be dispassionate about evil, to look it in the face and find, as often as not, our own grinning reflections with which we do not argue, but good is another matter. Few have stared at that long enough to accept that its face too is grotesque, that in us the good is something under construction. The modes of evil usually receive worthy expression. The modes of good have to be satisfied with a cliche or a smoothing down that will soften their real look. Flannery O'Connor
After all, what is happiness? Love, they tell me. But love doesn't bring and never has brought happiness. On the contrary, it's a constant state of anxiety, a battlefield; it's sleepless nights, asking ourselves all the time if we're doing the right thing. Real love is composed of ecstasy and agony. Paulo Coelho
Agatha Christie quote: "The trouble with you and me, is that we don't live in the real..."
The trouble with you and me, is that we don't live in the real world. We dream of fantastic things that may never happen. Agatha Christie
Fear is contagious. You can catch it. Sometimes all it takes is for someone to say they're scared for the fear to become real Neil Gaiman
A love that does not bear collision with reality is not a real love. But then the inability to love is a privilege of the noble hearts. Albert Camus
He likes to pretend he lives inside the comic books. I guess a fake life inside a cartoon is a lot better than his real life. Sherman Alexie
Spending time with you showed me what I’ve been missing in my life. The more time we spent together, the more I could imagine it lasting in the future. That’s never happened to me before, and I’m not sure it’ll ever happen again. I’ve never been in love with anyone before you came along — not real love anyway…not like this. And I’d be a fool if I let you slip away without a fight Nicholas Sparks
There is no real going back. Though I may come to the Shire, it will not seem the same; for I shall not be the same. I am wounded with knife, sting, and tooth, and a long burden. Where shall I find rest? J. R. R. Tolkien
Dreams rise in the darkness and catch fire from the mirage of moving light. What happens on the screen isn't quite real; it leaves open a vague cloudy space for the poor, for dreams and the dead. Hurry hurry, cream yourself full of dreams to carry you through the life that's waiting for you outside, when you leave here, to help you last a few days more in that nightmare of things and people. Among the dreams, choose the ones most likely to warm your soul. I have to confess that I picked... Louis-Ferdinand Celine
James Joyce quote: "He wanted to meet in the real world the unsubstantial image..."
He wanted to meet in the real world the unsubstantial image which his soul so constantly beheld. James Joyce
