Realness Quotes (page 121)

No man can sincerely resolve to apply to his daily life the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth without sensing a change in his own nature. The phrase, 'born again', has a deeper significance than many people attach to it. This changed feeling may be indescribable, but it is real. David O. McKay
...you should approach each book -- you should approach life -- with the real possibility that you might get a metaphorical boner at any point. Sherman Alexie
F. Scott Fitzgerald quote: "A new world, material without being real, where poor ghosts,..."
A new world, material without being real, where poor ghosts, breathing dreams like air, drifted fortuitously about. F. Scott Fitzgerald
The whole bible is the working out of the relationship between God and man. God is not a dictator barking out orders and demanding silent obedience. Were it so, there would be no relationship at all. No real relationship goes just one way. There are always two active parties. We must have reverence and awe for God, and honor for the chain of tradition. But that doesn't mean we can't use new information to help us read the holy texts in new ways. A. J. Jacobs
Philosophy arises from an unusually obstinate attempt to arrive at real knowledge. What passes for knowledge in ordinary life suffers from three defects: it is cocksure, vague and self-contradictory. The first step towards philosophy consists in becoming aware of these defects, not in order to rest content with a lazy scepticism, but in order to substitute an amended kind of knowledge which shall be tentative, precise and self-consistent. Bertrand Russell
When you leave a man alone with his Bible and the Holy Ghost inspires him, he's going to be a Catholic one way or another, even though he knows nothing about the visible church. His kind of Christianity may not be socially desirable, but will be real in the sight of God. Flannery O'Connor
The perfect stillness of the night was thrilled by a more solemn silence. The darkness held a presence that was all the more felt because it was not seen. I could not any more have doubted that HE was there than that I was. Indeed, I felt myself to be, if possible, the less real of the two. William James
David Herbert Lawrence quote: "Perhaps only those people who are capable of real togetherness..."
Perhaps only those people who are capable of real togetherness have that look of being alone in the world. David Herbert Lawrence
Over the last decade our country has lost an average of 300 farms a week. Large or small, each of those was the lifes work of a real person or family, people who built their lives around a promise and watched it break. Barbara Kingsolver
[F]or to recognize causes, it seemed to him, is to think, and through thought alone feelings become knowledge and are not lost, but become real and begin to mature. Herman Hesse
Frank Herbert quote: "Show me a completely smooth operation and I'll show you..."
Show me a completely smooth operation and I'll show you someone who's covering mistakes. Real boats rock. Frank Herbert
F. Scott Fitzgerald quote: "Sometimes I don't know whether I'm real or whether I'm a..."
Sometimes I don't know whether I'm real or whether I'm a character in one of my novels. F. Scott Fitzgerald
The point was - he wasn't acting. It was as if he'd forgotten how! Jack still knew his lines, but he was out of character... Jack had stopped acting. He was just Jack Burns - the real Jack Burns at last. John Irving
Michael Ondaatje quote: "Before the real city could be seen it had to be imagined, the..."
Before the real city could be seen it had to be imagined, the way rumours and tall tales were a kind of charting. Michael Ondaatje
Ben Okri quote: "We can redream this world and make the dream come real. Human..."
We can redream this world and make the dream come real. Human beings are gods hidden from themselves. Ben Okri
