Real World Quotes (page 4)

To be matter-of-fact about the world is to blunder into fantasy - and dull fantasy at that, as the real world is strange and wonderful. Robert A. Heinlein
You know, at some point there has to be parity. There has to be parity between what is happening in the real world, and what is happening in the public sector world. Chris Christie
Brent Spiner quote: "Having spent so much time in a fictional world, I prefer to..."
Having spent so much time in a fictional world, I prefer to read about the real world. Brent Spiner
I don't really like politics that much. And I like the order and simplicity of sports. They have an ending. You can argue with your friends about it, but in the end you still like sports. I almost love the fantasy world of sports more than the real world. Norm MacDonald
Sydney Brenner quote: "Living most of the time in a world created mostly in one's..."
Living most of the time in a world created mostly in one's head, does not make for an easy passage in the real world. Sydney Brenner

Of all the things I am not very good at, living in the real world is perhaps the most outstanding. Bill Bryson
Christians . . . ought not to be threatened by fantasy and imagination. Great painting is not "photographic": think of the Old Testament art commanded by God. There were blue pomegranates on the robes of the priest who went into the Holy of Holies. In nature there are no blue pomegranates. Christian artists do not need to be threatened by fantasy and imagination, for they have a basis for knowing the difference between them and the real world "out there." The Christian is the really free... Francis Schaeffer
Those five fingers and that palm were like a display case crammed full of everything I wanted to know--and everything I had to know. By taking my hand, she showed me what these things were. That within the real world, a place like this existed. In the space of those ten seconds I became I tiny bird, fluttering in the air, the wind rushing by. From high in the sky I could see a scene far away. It was so far off I couldn't make it out clearly, yet something was there, and I knew that someday I... Haruki Murakami
Libraries aren't in the real world, after all. They're places apart, sanctuaries of pure thought. In this way I can go on living on the moon for the rest of my life. Paul Auster
But then I have long since grown accustomed to the thought that what we call dreams is semi-reality, the promise of reality, a foreglimpse and a whiff of it; that is they contain, in a very vague, diluted state, more genuine reality than our vaunted waking life which, in its turn, is semi-sleep, an evil drowsiness into which penetrate in grotesque disguise the sounds and sights of the real world, flowing beyond the periphery of the mind—as when you hear during sleep a dreadful insidious tale... Vladimir Nabokov
The real world out there isn't nearly as nice as some people prefer it to be, so don't swallow everything your high-born teachers tell you without takinga long hard look at it yourselves. David Eddings
Fiction, because it is not about somebody who actually lived in the real world, always has the possibility of being about oneself. Orson Scott Card
Whenever serious and competent people need to get things done in the real world, all considerations of tradition and protocol fly out the window. Neal Stephenson
