Illusion Quotes

Technology is seductive when what it offers meets our human vulnerabilities. And as it turns out, we are very vulnerable indeed. We are lonely but fearful of intimacy.

Our networked life allows us to hide from each other, even as we are tethered to each other. We’d rather text than talk Picture Quote #1

The past is an interpretation. The future is on illusion. The world does not more through time as if it were a straight line, proceeding from the past to the future.

If you want to experience eternal illumination, put the past and the future out of your mind and remain within the present moment Picture Quote #1

Make peace with guilt. Guilt is a poisonous illusion. Many languages don’t even have a word for guilt Picture Quote #1

What a costume designer does is a cross between magic and camouflage. We create the illusion of changing the actors into what they are not. We ask the public to believe that every time they see a performer on the screen he’s become a different person Picture Quote #1

.. The past is only an unreliable memory held in the present. The future is only a projection of our present conceptions. The present itself vanishes as soon as we try to grasp it. So why bother with attempting to establish an illusion of solid ground? Picture Quote #1

Every heart is the other heart. Every soul is the other soul. Every face is the other face. The individual is the one illusion Picture Quote #1

Privative appropriation and domination are thus originally imposed and felt as a positive right, but in the form of a negative universality. Valid for everyone, justified in everyone’s eyes by divine or natural law, the right of privative appropriation is objectified in a general illusion, in a universal transcendence, in an essential law under which everyone individually manages to tolerate the more or less narrow limits assigned to his right to live and to the conditions of life in general Picture Quote #1

The achievement of freedom is hardly possible without the felt mourning. This ability to mourn, i.e, to give up the illusion of a happy childhood, can restore vitality and creativity if a person is able to experience that he was never loved as a child for what he was, but for his achievements, success and good qualities. And that he sacrificed his childhood for this love, this will shake him very deeply Picture Quote #1

Maybe the reason it’s easier to shrug away one who has made us their secret love is simply because we know our own flaws; we know under the right light, that illusion they believe will fall, and show us for what we really are instead of who they secretly hope us to be Picture Quote #1

I am convinced that those who get themselves involved in the machinery of power politics, even for the purpose of destroying it, are bound to fail in their purpose. To destroy it we have to stay out of it. If we want to cut down a tree, it is of no use to climb into its branches. The desire to keep contact with something, even to destroy it, is a subtle and insidious illusion Picture Quote #1

So much of this world is based on illusion, temporaries, and disposability that I think it’s essential that our closest relationships reflect what is real Picture Quote #1

Do not waste time trying to overcome your weaknesses and failures. Simply raise your consciousness, transcend and free your thoughts from limitation and illusion, and find within the very center of your being a wholeness and completeness! Cease wallowing in your imperfections and never accept limitations! Aim high, and you will get there. It is only your thoughts that hold you back Picture Quote #1

I open myself genuinely to all people by being willing to fully communicate my deepest feelings, since hiding in any degree keep me stuck in my illusion of separateness from other people Picture Quote #1
