Reality Quotes

The convenience of timekeeping is greatly overrated; and the people who practice it so faithfully that they lose the capacity for appreciating the fixed and the static and the spatially related experiences cut themselves off from a good part of reality Picture Quote #1

Art has no other object than to set aside the symbols of practical utility, the generalities that are conventionally and socially accepted, everything in fact which masks reality from us, in order to set us face to face with reality itself Picture Quote #1

An independant reality in the ordinary physical sense can neither be ascribed to the phenomenon nor to the agencies of observation Picture Quote #1

Reality is a narrow little house which becomes a prison to those who can’t get out of it Picture Quote #1

From top to bottom of the ladder, greed is aroused without knowing where to find ultimate foothold. Nothing can calm it, since its goal is far beyond all it can attain. Reality seems valueless by comparison with the dreams of fevered imaginations; reality is therefore abandoned Picture Quote #1

As soon as we see our dreams betrayed we realize that the intensest joys of our life have nothing to do with reality, and we are consumed with regret for the time when they glowed within us. And in this succession of hopes and regrets our life slips by Picture Quote #1

And if you ever do a survey, you’ll find that people prefer illusion to reality, ten to one. Twenty, even Picture Quote #1

The people who say you are not facing reality actually mean that you are not facing their idea of reality Picture Quote #1

Writers must fortify themselves with pride and egotism as best they can. The process is analogous to using sandbags and loose timbers to protect a house against flood. Writers are vulnerable creatures like anyone else. For what do they have in reality? Not sandbags, not timbers. Just a flimsy reputation and a name Picture Quote #1

It is not heroin or cocaine that makes one an addict, it is the need to escape from a harsh reality. There are more television addicts, more baseball and football addicts, more movie addicts, and certainly more alcohol addicts in this country than there are narcotics addicts Picture Quote #1

Now, we deny not, but that politicians may sometimes abuse religion, and make it serve for the promoting of their own private interests and designs; which yet they could not do so well neither, were the thing itself a mere cheat and figment of their own, and had no reality at all in nature, nor anything solid at the bottom of it Picture Quote #1

Creativity is essentially a lonely art. An even lonelier struggle. To some a blessing. To others a curse. It is in reality the ability to reach inside yourself and drag forth from your very soul an idea Picture Quote #1

People think they have taken quite an extraordinarily bold step forward when they have rid themselves of belief in hereditary monarchy and swear by the democratic republic. In reality, however, the state is nothing but a machine for the oppression of one class by another, and indeed in the democratic republic no less than in the monarchy Picture Quote #1

Better a dish of illusion and a hearty appetite for life than a feast of reality and indigestion therewith Picture Quote #1

Technology is not an image of the world but a way of operating on reality. The nihilism of technology lies not only in the fact that it is the most perfect expression of the will to power... but also in the fact that it lacks meaning Picture Quote #1

There is in us more of the appearance of sense and virtue than of the reality Picture Quote #1

Desert being the essential condition of praise, there can be no reality in the one without the other Picture Quote #1

What delights us in the spring is more a sensation than an appearance, more a hope than any visible reality. There is something in the softness of the air, in the lengthening of the days, in the very sounds and odors of the sweet time, that caresses us and consoles us after the rigorous weeks of winter Picture Quote #1

The man who becomes a critic by trade ceases, in reality, to be one at all Picture Quote #1

Sarcasm helps me overcome the harshness of the reality we live, eases the pain of scars and makes people smile Picture Quote #1

All great reality shows have a very, very similar format. That’s why it was so easy to parody Picture Quote #1

There definitely is exposure in reality shows, but the exposure will basically get you more reality shows Picture Quote #1

Well, there are two kinds of happiness, grounded and ungrounded. Ungrounded happiness is cheesy and not based on reality. Grounded happiness is informed happiness based on the knowledge that the world sometimes sucks, but even then you have to believe in yourself Picture Quote #1

I try to get closer to reality, to get close to the contradictions. The cinema world can be a real world rather than a dream world Picture Quote #1

When a party is in opposition, it opposes. That’s its job. But when it comes to power, it must govern. Easy rhetoric is over, the press of reality becomes irresistible. By necessity, it adopts some of the policies it had once denounced. And a new national consensus is born Picture Quote #1

The telephone is virtual reality in that you can meet with someone as if you are together, at least for the auditory sense Picture Quote #1

When you watch these reality shows, the person that is hated on the most is usually the one that gets the most shine Picture Quote #1

There are so many reality shows on now where they want you to be crazy, the girls are just going bananas; you know how they portray brown girls. They portray us in a different type of light Picture Quote #1
