Realising Quotes

I’m constantly snatching my books out of the hands of precocious ten-year-olds who are simply too young to read them, despite parents insisting that dear Octavia has a reading age of 28. I remember trying to read ‘In Cold Blood’ at the age of twelve, and realising that just because you can read book doesn’t mean you should Picture Quote #1

The old university attitude of ‘publish or perish’ has changed. Students and academics are realising that institutions such as Imperial College are also wealth-generators. It is very satisfying to be in a university where you have the freedom to innovate and yet know that there is a path to translate your work into industry Picture Quote #1

When I first decided I was going to have a go at writing a book - and really, it was a mid-life crisis - I was 39. I was in business with my husband; we had a very busy lifestyle and quite a hectic schedule running this flourishing business in travel, and I found myself waking up and realising that I didn’t want to do this anymore Picture Quote #1

I had a few problems. I didn’t realise it until I started going to therapy. I did it for 10 years, two days a week, and pretty quickly I understood that a lot of my suffering, many of my issues, were rooted in my realising that I was gay when I was a little boy. I knew I was different. That made me very fragile Picture Quote #1

It’s a secret language, known to all different people, in different ways, that enables them to read a subliminal message without realising they’re reading it. It affects people on many levels, and even people who think they’re not into fashion, or reject fashion are then being informed just in the case of rejecting it. The fact that they had to react against it was a conscious decision Picture Quote #1

My religion is based on truth and non-violence. Truth is my God. Non-violence is the means of realising him Picture Quote #1

I wondered whether the scientific modern brain could not get to the stage of realising that Space is not an empty homogeneous medium, but full of intricate differences, intelligible and real, though not with our common reality Picture Quote #1

Working with big actors and realising that they were just normal people who've got an incredible talent was just a great experience Picture Quote #1

I can work on a verse for a very long time before realising it's not any good and then, and only then, can I discard it Picture Quote #1

Most of us have had that experience - at around puberty - of realising that, despite whatever efforts we put into our chosen sports, we will become at best competent Picture Quote #1

You have city centre pubs where men go to meet girls, not realising that all girls in city centre pubs have thighs like tug boats and morals that would surprise a zoo animal Picture Quote #1

Famous people feel that they must perpetually be on the crest of the wave, not realising that it is against all the rules of life. You can’t be on top all the time, it isn’t natural Picture Quote #1

It is possible to experience an awakening in this life through realising just how precious each moment, each mental process, and each breath truly is Picture Quote #1

My mum told me to have patience. It’s about realising that when things aren’t going the way you want them to, or you don’t have inspiration, it will come Picture Quote #1

I’m beginning to think I have two years encountering sexism without really realising it Picture Quote #1

Antisthenes used to say that envious people were devoured by their own disposition, just as iron is by rust. Envy of others comes from comparing what they have with what the envious person has, rather than the envious person realising they have more than what they could have and certainly more than some others and being grateful. It is really just an inability to get a correct perspective on their lives Picture Quote #1

I think the great thing about grandparents is seeing another home, realising that people you love can have different priorities, different diversions, different opinions and lead quite different lives from the ones you see every day, and that is immensely valuable Picture Quote #1

If believing in yourself and going after what you want in life and realising your worth is ruthless and selfish, then I’m definitely ruthless and selfish Picture Quote #1

No one should be held back from realising their potential by fears that they will not be able to afford to go to university or that they will graduate with unmanageable levels of debt Picture Quote #1

Fashion is intoxicating, and it plays a part in all of our everyday lives. A lot of people use it as a form of escape, of realising a fantasy, and in some ways that becomes an unobtainable norm Picture Quote #1

I’m realising my dream of owning a top football club. Some will doubt my motives, others will think I’m crazy Picture Quote #1

We’re terrible at realising what goes on in other people’s heads because we are trapped inside our own Picture Quote #1

You won’t ever build your confidence from a perception of lack. For it grows and evolves from realising who you are and what you already have Picture Quote #1

At the end of the day, life’s about realising one’s human potential. I don’t know if I’ve realised mine, but I’ve certainly gone a long way towards realising some goals and some dreams Picture Quote #1

I started realising that the themes running through all of my novels were really haunting and obsessing me about my own life Picture Quote #1

I think I’m realising more and more that I’ve got a job to do and I can’t be doing the big nights out and working to my full potential the next day. I feel much better for it Picture Quote #1

After realising my natural affinity towards surrealism several years ago I decided to study it’s origins and definitions Picture Quote #1

There’s no better satisfaction than watching the people around you, who have worked day and night to get something right, realising the dream Picture Quote #1

I feel the emotion that life conjures up and the songs I write get me closer to my feelings and realising who I am. It’s a natural process Picture Quote #1

We still make love to organs and not people; that so far from realising that people are never more idiosyncratic, never more totally there when they make love, we re never more incommunicative, never more alone Picture Quote #1
