Reality Quotes (page 38)

My objection to supernatural beliefs is precisely that they miserably fail to do justice to the sublime grandeur of the real world. They represent a narrowing-down from reality, an impoverishment of what the real world has to offer. Richard Dawkins
Vicki Baum quote: "A writer should always have some profession which brings him..."
A writer should always have some profession which brings him into close contact with the reality's of life. Vicki Baum
I turned around to face the reality, which was not something caught in the ice of the mind but was something now flushed, feline, lethal, and electric... Robert Penn Warren
Oscar Wilde quote: "If one doesn't talk about a thing, it has never happened. It..."

...which so incorruptibly reduced a reality to its color content that it resumed a new existence in a beyond of color, without any previous memories. Rainer Maria Rilke
The charge of blasphemy is loaded. The point is to pack a wallop behind the charge that in our worship services God simply doesn't come through for who he is. He is unwittingly belittled. For those who are stunned by the indescribable magnitude of what God has made, not to mention the infinite greatness of the One who made it, the steady diet on Sunday morning of practical how-to's and psychological soothing and relational therapy and tactical planning seem dramatically out of touch with...

For the first time, she recognized the symptoms of infatuation which she had felt incipiently as a child, as a girl in her early teens, and later as a young woman. The recognition did not lessen the reality, the poignancy of the revelation by any suggestion or promise of instability. The past was nothing to her; offered no lesson which she was willing to heed. The future was a mystery which she never attempted to penetrate. The present alone was significant; was hers, to torture her as it was... Kate Chopin

The soul is a terrible reality. It can be bought and sold and bartered away. Oscar Wilde
T. S. Eliot quote: "Between the idea. And the reality. Between the motion. And the..."
Between the idea. And the reality. Between the motion. And the act. Falls the Shadow T. S. Eliot
You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete. R. Buckminster Fuller
I searched modern fiction and poetry for clues to how we confronted and evaded reality, how we articulated our experience and turned to language not to revel ourselves but to hide. I was as sure then as I am now that by looking at contemporary Iranian fiction I could gain access to a real understanding of political and social events. (p289) Azar Nafisi
Telling lies is a really terrible thing. These days, lies and silence are the two greatest sins in human society you might say. In reality, we tell lots of lies, and we often break into silence. However, if we were constant; y talking year-round, and telling only the truth truth would probably lose some of its value. Haruki Murakami
History has its truth, and so has legend. Legendary truth is of another nature than historical truth. Legendary truth is invention whose result is reality. Furthermore, history and legend have the same goal; to depict eternal man beneath momentary man. Victor Hugo
As soon as you look at the world through an ideology you are finished. No reality fits an ideology. Life is beyond that.? That is why people are always searching for a meaning to lif? Meaning is only found when you go beyond meaning. Life only makes sense when you perceive it as mystery and it makes no sense to the conceptualizing mind. Anthony de Mello
Courage is not a virtue or value among other personal values like love o fidelity. It is the foundations that underlies and gives reality to all other virtue and personal values. (p. 13) Rollo May
