Reality Quotes (page 55)

You always think another time would have been ideal for you . . . the reality is there was no novocaine when you went to the dentist. Woody Allen
Heraclitus quote: "Life has the name of life, but in reality it is death."
Life has the name of life, but in reality it is death. Heraclitus
It is strange that the tactile sense, which is so infinitely less precious to men than sight, becomes at critical moments our main, if not only, handle to reality. Vladimir Nabokov
Paulo Coelho quote: "When you choose your attitude toward life, you can affect..."
When you choose your attitude toward life, you can affect reality by making it better for you Paulo Coelho
I seemed to hold two lives - the life of thought, and that of reality; and, provided the former was nourished with a sufficiency of the strange necromantic joys of fancy, the privileges of the latter might remain limited to daily bread, hourly work, and a roof of shelter. Charlotte Bronte
For a while these reveries provided an outlet for his imagination; they were a satisfactory hint of the unreality of reality, a promise that the rock of the world was founded securely on a fairy's wing. F. Scott Fitzgerald
The phrase "It's absolutely the same with me, I..." seems to be an approving echo, a way of continuing the other's thought, but that is an illusion: in reality it is a brute revolt against a brutal violence, an effort to free our own ear from bondage and to occupy the enemy's ear by force. Because all of man's life among his kind is nothing other than a battle to seize the ear of others. Milan Kundera
He recognized with absolute certainty the empty fragility of even the noblest theorizings as compared with the definitive plenitude of the smallest fact grasped in its total, concrete reality. Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
Painting can feign reality without having seen it. Discourse combines signs which have referents, of course, but these referents can be and are most often 'chimeras. Roland Barthes
What incensed him the most was the blatant jokes of the ones that passed it all off as a jest, pretending to understand everything and in reality not knowing their own minds. James Joyce
Connie went for walks in the park, and in the woods that joined the park, and enjoyed the solitude and the mystery, kicked the brown leaves of autumn, and picked the primroses of spring. But it was all a dream; or rather it was like the simulacrum of reality. The oak leaves were to her like oak-leaves seen ruffling in a mirror, she herself was a figure somebody had read about, picking primroses that were only shadows or memories, or words. No substance to her or anything...no touch, no contact! David Herbert Lawrence
Anais Nin quote: "Our love of each other was like two long shadows kissing..."
Our love of each other was like two long shadows kissing without hope of reality. Anais Nin
Clive Barker quote: "Superman is, after all, an alien life form. He is simply the..."
Superman is, after all, an alien life form. He is simply the acceptable face of invading realities. Clive Barker
It is as if Emily Bront could tear up all that we know human beings by, and fill these unrecognizable transparencies with such a gust of life that they transcend reality. Virginia Woolf
Narrow minds devoid of imagination. Intolerance, theories cut off from reality, empty terminology, usurped ideals, inflexible systems. Those are the things that really frighten me. What I absolutely fear and loathe. Haruki Murakami
