Reality Quotes

$You take a fraction of reality and expand on it. It’s very seldom totally at odds with the facts. It’s shaving a piece of reality off Picture Quote #1$

I see rock music as the best example of modernday storytelling that exists in our society. Songs are narratives that help the listeners cope with the reality of life that can’t be easily spoken about in everyday conversation. It is a hugely powerful process of helping people find themselves through music Picture Quote #1

I think when you’re really stressed out and can’t really face reality... you shop Picture Quote #1

For some slaves, the first step out of bondage is to learn to see their lives with new eyes. Their reality is a social world where they have their place and some assurance of a subsistence diet. Born into slavery, they cannot easily redefine their lives outside the frame of enslavement Picture Quote #1

We commonly think of freedom as the ability to define alternatives and choose between them. The creative mind exceeds this liberty in being able to redefine itself and reality at large, generating whole new sets of alternatives Picture Quote #1

There is an objective reality in which my body and mind are one. But I am not here and never have been Picture Quote #1

In strongly opposing the world of play to that of reality, and in stressing that play is essentially a side activity, the interference is drawn that any contamination by ordinary life runs the risk of corrupting and destroying its very nature Picture Quote #1

Coffee, the sober drink, the mighty nourishment of the brain, which unlike other spirits, heightens purity and lucidity; coffee, which clears the clouds of the imagination and their gloomy weight; which illuminates the reality of things suddenly with the flush of truth Picture Quote #1

It would be most satisfactory if physics and psyche could be seen as complementary aspects of the same reality Picture Quote #1

John needed to escape his reality. I understood completely but I couldn’t go along with him Picture Quote #1

Zen is really just a reminder to stay alive and to be awake. We tend to daydream all the time, speculating about the future and dwelling on the past. Zen practice is about appreciating your life in this moment. If you are truly aware of five minutes a day, then you are doing pretty well. We are beset by both the future and the past, and there is no reality apart from the here and now Picture Quote #1

We may prefer to think of ourselves as fallen angels, but in reality we are rising apes Picture Quote #1

The truth about our own modest contribution might immobilize us: much easier then, to tell ourselves a story about how much we make our own reality Picture Quote #1

In endeavor itself there is a certain dynamic entertainment, affording an illusion of useful purpose. With achievement the illusion is dispelled. Man’s greatest accomplishment is to produce change. The only good in life is study, because study is an endeavor that never reaches fulfillment. It busies a man to the end of his days, and it aims at the only true reality in all this world of shams and deceits Picture Quote #1

If your faith in reality is based on the belief that time moves in one direction only, the foundation of your faith will be shattered by the experience of the future Picture Quote #1

Physical reality is one of the biggest horror movies of all, and you know how we love horror movies Picture Quote #1

An optimist is neither naive, nor blind to the facts, nor in denial of grim reality. An optimist believes in the optimal usage of all options available, no matter how limited. As such, an optimist always sees the big picture. How else to keep track of all that’s out there? An optimist is simply a proactive realist Picture Quote #1

Most people seem to be interested in turning their dreams into reality. Then there are those who turn reality into dreams. I belong to the latter group Picture Quote #1

The real world just doesn’t offer up as easily the carefully designed pleasures, the thrilling challenges, and the powerful social bonding afforded by virtual environments. Reality doesn’t motivate us as effectively. Reality isn’t engineered to maximize our potential. Reality wasn’t designed from the bottom up to make us happy Picture Quote #1

Heaven and happiness do not exist. That is your parents’ way to justify the crime of having brought you into this world. What exists is reality, the tough reality, this slaughterhouse we’ve come to die in, if not to kill and to eat the animals, our fellow creatures. Therefore, do not reproduce, do not repeat the crimes committed against you, do not give back the same, evil paid with evil, as imposing life is the ultimate crime. Do not disturb the unborn, let them be in the peace of nothingness. Anyway we’ll all eventually go back there, so why beat around the bush? Picture Quote #1

You understand reality while everyone else is running around confused and angry and upset because they think reality is something happening to them rather than something they are making every moment with every thought Picture Quote #1

I didn’t want to find out the reality that if I wanted my dream, I had to lose weight. That’s a crushing dream for anybody... to change yourself to get your dream. Nobody should have to do that Picture Quote #1

While their methods differ radically, artists and physicists share the desire to investigate the ways the interlocking pieces of reality fit together. This is the common ground upon which they meet Picture Quote #1

If I was writing a lifestyle book it would have the same advice on every page, and you’d know it all already. Eat lots of fruit and vegetables, and live your whole life in every way as well as you can: exercise regularly as part of your daily routine, avoid obesity, don’t drink too much, don’t smoke, and don’t get distracted from the real, basic, simple causes of ill health. But as we will see, even these things are hard to do on your own, and in reality require wholesale social and political changes Picture Quote #1

You have to overcome negativity and make your dream reality. Even if your family and friends steer you in another directions, do what you want to do. They can’t stop you unless you let them Picture Quote #1

Suicide is the means of men whose resilience has been eaten away by rust, the rust of the daily round. They were born for action, but they have delayed their action; so action turns back on them with the swing of a pendulum. Suicide is an act, the act of those who have not been able to accomplish others. It is an act of faith, like all acts. Faith in one’s neighbor, in the existence of one’s neighbor, in the reality of the self and the other selves Picture Quote #1

Science, at its core, is simply a method of practical logic that tests hypotheses against experience. Scientism, by contrast, is the worldview and value system that insists that the questions the scientific method can answer are the most important questions human beings can ask, and that the picture of the world yielded by science is a better approximation to reality than any other Picture Quote #1

We live almost completely immersed in a socially constructed reality that so fully absorbs our energy and attention that virtually none remains to experience the wonder of our existence Picture Quote #1

I believe that fantasy in the meaning of imagination is very important. We shouldn’t stick too close to everyday reality but give room to the reality of the heart, of the mind, and of the imagination Picture Quote #1

If you want to live an authentic, meaningful life, you need to master the art of disappointing and upsetting others, hurting feelings, and living with the reality that some people just won’t like you. It may not be easy, but it’s essential if you want your life to reflect your deepest desires, values, and needs Picture Quote #1
