Text Quotes
I’m someone who loves to enjoy life and tries to focus on real things and real friendships. That’s why I live very simply  (Real Thing Quotes) I’m not trying to sign people up to a creed, I’m much more interested in the people that disagree. These ideas are powerful but this isn’t mysticism in the ordinary sense to be protected by mumblings about faith and all that. This is the real thing  (Real Thing Quotes) When I got older I decided I wanted to be a real writer. I tried to write about real things. I wanted to describe the world, because to live in an undescribed world was too lonely  (Real Thing Quotes) My life is good because I am not passive about it. I invest in what is real. Like real people, to do real things, for the real me  (Real Thing Quotes) I’m writing about real things. Real people. Real characters. You have to believe what I write about is true or you wouldn’t pay any attention at all. Sometimes it’s me, or a composite of me and other people. Sometimes it’s not me at all  (Real Thing Quotes) If that moment had been a real thing, it would’ve been a butterfly, flapping and fluttering toward the sun  (Real Thing Quotes) As I rolled over, stretching out, my only thought was to go back to the dream I’d been having, which I couldn’t remember, other than that it had been good, in that distant, hopeful way unreal things can be  (Real Thing Quotes) It was bad enough when I thought your ghost was haunting me; I don’t think I could handle the real thing  (Real Thing Quotes) Because one does not want to be disturbed, to be made uncertain, he establishes a pattern of conduct, of thought, a pattern of relationship to man etc. Then he becomes a slave to the patter and takes the pattern to be the real thing  (Real Thing Quotes) In the printed page the only real things are the paper and the ink; the white spaces play the same part in aiding the eye to take in the meaning of the print as do the black letters  (Real Thing Quotes) Here was a place where real things were going on. Here was a scene of vital action. Here was a place where anything might happen. Here was a place where something would certainly happen. Here I might leave my bones  (Real Thing Quotes) Find new treasures in yourself. Love doesn’t die. Love is unyielding. It’s going to come back. The more you love and appreciate yourself, the more prepared you are when the real thing shows up  (Real Thing Quotes) When the child goes out, it is the world itself that offers itself to him. Let us take the child out to show him real things instead of making objects which represent ideas and closing them up in cupboards  (Real Thing Quotes) Love and work are the only two real things in our lives. They belong together, otherwise it is off. Work is in itself a form of love  (Real Thing Quotes) Sometimes I look around my living room, and the most real thing in the room is the television. It’s bright and vivid, and the rest of my life looks drab. So I turn the damn thing off. That does it every time. Get my life back  (Real Thing Quotes) To me in my childhood, elves and fairies of all sorts were very real things, and my dolls were as really children as I was myself a child  (Real Thing Quotes) My kind of loyalty was loyalty to one’s country, not to its institutions or its officeholders. The country is the real thing, the substantial thing, the eternal thing; it is the thing to watch over, and care for, and be loyal to; institutions are extraneous, they are its mere clothing, and clothing can wear out, become ragged, cease to be comfortable, cease to protect the body from winter, disease, and death  (Real Thing Quotes) To die; to decide to die; that’s much easier for an adolescent than for an adult. What? Doesn’t death strip an adolescent of a far larger portion of future? Certainly it does, but for a young person, the future is a remote, abstract, unreal thing he doesn’t really believe in  (Real Thing Quotes) You matter as much as the things that matter to you. And I got so backwards trying to matter to him. All this time, there were real things to care about: real, good people who care about me, and this place. It’s so easy to get stuck. You just get caught in being something, being special or cool or whatever, to the point where you don’t even know why you need it; you just think you do  (Real Thing Quotes) I wish I could remember the moment when I was a kid and I discovered that the letters linked into words, and that the words linked to real things. What a revelation that must have been. We don’t have the words for it, since we hadn’t yet learned the words. It must have been astonishing, to be given the key to the kingdom and see it turn in our hands so easily  (Real Thing Quotes) Physical beauty and ugliness is not very important. The real thing is the inner. I can teach you how to be beautiful from within, and that is real beauty. Once it is there, your physical form won’t matter much. Your eyes will start shining with joy; your face will have a gleam, a glory. The form will become immaterial. When something starts flowing from within you, some grace, then the outer form is just put aside  (Real Thing Quotes) Most of us live in a condition of secrecy: secret desires, secret appetites, secret hatreds and relationship with the institutions which is extremely intense and uncomfortable. These are, to me, a part of the ordinary human condition. So I don’t think I’m writing about abnormal things... Artists, in my experience, have very little center. They fake. They are not the real thing. They are spies. I am no exception  (Real Thing Quotes) Patience asks us to live the moment to the fullest, to be completely present to the moment, to taste the here and now, to be where we are. When we are impatient, we try to get away from where we are. We behave as if the real thing will happen tomorrow, later, and somewhere else. Let’s be patient and trust that the treasure we look for is hidden in the ground on which we stand  (Real Thing Quotes) Knowing a great deal about what is in the world art, catastrophe, the beauties of nature through photographic images, people are frequently disappointed, surprised, unmoved when the see the real thing. For photographic images tend to subtract feeling from something we experience at first hand and the feelings they do arouse are, largely, not those we have in real life. Often something disturbs us more in photographed form than it does when we actually experience it  (Real Thing Quotes) I am interested in people who swim in the deep end. I want to have conversations about real things with people who have experienced real things. I’m tired of talking about movies and gossiping about friends. Life is crunchy and complicated and all the more delicious  (Real Thing Quotes) When you’ve been raised in care, rap music isn’t just about guns and sexism. They’re talking about real things you can hang on to, problems of identity that you have sympathy with. It’s not just about the music, with rap: when I was in care, it meant a whole lot more than that  (Real Thing Quotes) It didn’t matter what we did or where we did it as long as we were together. We knew we’d found what most people either pursue in years of futile search or dismiss as a fantasy at the outset: The missing half of ourselves. The real thing  (Real Thing Quotes) I think it’s really important to use your hands and get close to materials. To be up close to real things like rain and mud; to have contact with nature  (Real Thing Quotes) Reality is so dull, alan thought. Any mistake in one’s perception of it is inevitably more interesting than the real thing, and lucky are those who remain uninformed of their error  (Real Thing Quotes) The pleasures of the imagination are as it were only drawings and models which are played with by poor people who cannot afford the real thing  (Real Thing Quotes)
