Reality Quotes (page 24)

In the day school she went to in New York she had long intimate conversations with them all in her imagination, but never in reality. Madeleine L'Engle
What is a self-image? Who started talking about one? I rather fancy it was Madison Avenue. Picture Satan in a business suit, with well-groomed horns and a superbly switching tail, sitting at his huge executive's desk, thinking, 'Aha!

To simplify your life, just think of yourself as a four-year-old child. Try to imagine the way he thinks of reality. If you have to talk to someone about a so-called complicated matter, see how you can simplify it. No matter with whom you are talking, feel that you are a child and that person is also a child.

In a real sense all life is inter-related. All men are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be, and you can never be what you ought to be until I am what I ought to be...This is the inter-related structure of reality. Martin Luther King jr.
But [Stanley Wade] instead removed his glasses and wiped his eyes. They were moist not from fear but from the harsh reality of being confronted by one of his victims. How many others were out there? Why had he chosen to spend his career screwing these people? ~from "Michael's Room"~ John Grisham
the world-view of the Party imposed itselfmost successfully on people incapable of understanding it. They could be made to accept the most flagrant violationsof reality, because they never fully grasped the enormityof what was demanded of them, and were not sufficientlyinterested in public events to notice what was happening. By lack of understanding they remained sane. They simplyswallowed everything, and what they swallowed did themno harm, because it left no residue behind, just as a grain... George Orwell
Patton Oswalt quote: "If the victories we create in our heads were let loose on..."
If the victories we create in our heads were let loose on reality, the world we know would drown in blazing happiness. Patton Oswalt
Jules Michelet quote: "He who would confine his thought to present time will not..."
He who would confine his thought to present time will not understand present reality. Jules Michelet
Unhappy endings might seem more realistic than happy ones, but reality often contained a streak of fantasy that realism lacked. Salman Rushdie
For the last year his grandma had been slipping in and out of reality. One minute she was as clear as a bell and the next she was calling him Simon. Who was Simon? He had no idea. Suzanne Collins
Edith Wharton quote: "And you'll sit beside me, and we'll look, not at visions, but..."
And you'll sit beside me, and we'll look, not at visions, but at realities. Edith Wharton
