Illusion Quotes

A good simulation, be it a religious myth or scientific theory, gives us a sense of mastery over experience. To represent something symbolically, as we do when we speak or write, is somehow to capture it, thus making it one’s own. But with this appropriation comes the realization that we have denied the immediacy of reality and that in creating a substitute we have but spun another thread in the web of our grand illusion Picture Quote #1

I learnt that fame is an illusion and everything about it is just a joke. I’m far more dangerous now, because I don’t care at all Picture Quote #1

Therefore, philosophy does not give sense in mind happiness. It keeps in mind the only truth. However, it is very possible that the truth may be painful, may be distressing, may be destructive of happiness or makes it impossible. Religion, unlike philosophy, is under the category of the useful one. It promises happiness and says what it is necessary to do and what it is necessary to be to deserve or to obtain it. Consequently, illusion is more important than truth if it gets happiness Picture Quote #1

Think hard about the reasons for believing and not believing, what your religion teaches you and demands so inexorably that you believe. I am convinced that if you follow closely the natural light of your spirit, you will see... that all the religions in the world are only human inventions and that everything your religion teaches you and forces you to believe as supernatural and divine is at heart only error, lie, illusion and trickery Picture Quote #1

We’re lonely, but we’re afraid of intimacy. And so from social networks to sociable robots, we’re designing technologies that will give us the illusion of companionship without the demands of friendship Picture Quote #1

Love is supposed to bring you peace and happiness. If you are not feeling this in a relationship, you are living an illusion Picture Quote #1

Your writer, your scientist, your chief official, all have lost the power to revive the early illusion concerning fame and high place. Their beauty and delight is like the mirage in the heavens, only plain to the eye outside; within is nothing Picture Quote #1

We are apt to think we know what time is because we can measure it, but no sooner do we reflect upon it than that illusion goes. So it appears that the range of the measureable is not the range of the knowable. There are things we can measure, like time, but yet our minds do not grasp their meaning. There are things we cannot measure, like happiness or pain, and yet their meaning is perfectly clear to us Picture Quote #1

Devote the mind to confusion and we know only too well, if we´re honest, that it will become a dark master of confusion, adept in its addictions, subtle and perversely supple in its slaveries. Devote it in meditation to the task of freeing itself from illusion, and we will find that, with time, patience, discipline, and the right training, our mind will begin to unknot itself and know its essential bliss and clarity Picture Quote #1

Every perception of color is an illusion, we do not see colors as they really are. In our perception they alter one another Picture Quote #1

Real peace comes only when you stop chasing it. When you relax your driving desire for comfort, real fulfillment arises. When you drop your hectic pursuit of gratification, the real beauty of life comes out. When you seek to know the reality without illusion, complete with all its pain and danger, that is when real freedfom and security are yours Picture Quote #1

If we take shelter of the lotus feet of the spiritual master, we can become free from illusion, fear and distress. If we wholeheartedly beg for his mercy without any deceit then the spiritual master bestows all auspiciousness upon us Picture Quote #1

People are under the illusion that it’s easy... Technically, it is complex. You have a million options with equipment to distract you. I tell my students to simplify their equipment Picture Quote #1

Success on a cosmic level completely eludes me. I’m deeply suspicious of things being too good. It’s part of my superstition, I think, to generate pain in order to give the illusion of gain. I’m not saying I reject success, but honestly, I don’t quite know how to deal with it. It’s an old feeling: As soon as you have the thing you’ve been going after all your life, that reasonable degree of security, you start kicking against it, doubting it Picture Quote #1

In many ways, constancy is an illusion. After all, our ancestors were immigrants, many of them moving on every few years; today we are migrants in time. Unless teachers can hold up a model of lifelong learning and adaptation, graduates are likely to find themselves trapped into obsolescence as the world changes around them. Of any stopping place in life, it is good to ask whether it will be a good place from which to go on as well as a good place to remain Picture Quote #1

Posterity has never made the grave’s embrace less cruel. It simply assuages our fear of death, because there is no better cure for out inevitable morality then the illusion of a beautiful eternity. But there is one illusion I still hold dear: that is the thought of an enlightened nation. That is the only future I still dream of Picture Quote #1

We get swallowed up by the illusion that unless we can find a place to belong, we are going to be all alone in the world Picture Quote #1

As your relationship with the music gets stronger, so does your motivation for playing it and finding different sounds. If you have the idea that you can find a colour that is better for one composer or another, even if it’s an illusion, this generates enormous pleasure Picture Quote #1

You think intelligence and grit can succeed by themselves, but I’m telling you that’s a pretty illusion Picture Quote #1

What can we say to people who think that dreams are the real world and this one is an illusion. Perhaps they’re right Picture Quote #1

Being a star doesn’t last. That’s not what life should be about. It’s a complete illusion that really has nothing to do with you. For me, finding out about life is the most important thing Picture Quote #1

I’m glad to be part of the war on sadness. I’m a part time employee of the illusion that keeps people stupid Picture Quote #1

I still haven’t gotten over this thing of walking down the street and somebody recognizing you because you’ve been in a movie. There’s this illusion that movie stars only exist in the movies. And to see one live is like seeing a leopard let out of the zoo Picture Quote #1

Acting is illusion, as much illusion as magic is, and not so much a matter of being real Picture Quote #1

Anybody who has the illusion that you can have a career as long as I have and be a star is kidding themselves Picture Quote #1

And once again I believe that nothing that’s important really becomes lost. We just delude ourselves, thinking that we own the things, the moments and the others. Still with me are all the dead persons who I loved, all the friends who turned away, all the happy days that faded. I lost nothing but the illusion that everything could be mine forever Picture Quote #1

Do what you love. Love what you do. Take less. Give more. Never quit. Never follow. Be passionate. Be bold. Be honest. Respect people. Respect the environment. Always bring out the best in your family and friends. Change is the only constant. Fear is an illusion. Attitude is everything Picture Quote #1

We manufacture anger to give ourselves the illusion of power when we feel weak and helpless Picture Quote #1

Children’s literature must build a bridge between the colorful dream world full of fantasy and illusion, and a tougher real world full of twists and turns. The child armed with the torch of knowledge, awareness and guidance must cross this bridge and set foot to the intense harshness of the bigger world Picture Quote #1

Don’t take shadows too seriously. Reality is your only safety. Continue to reject illusion Picture Quote #1
