The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.
- Lincoln, Abraham
Reality Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Reality

1.
What is a lie? It is to say what is real is not real. It is to deny the existence of what exists.
Zarlenga, Peter Nivio

2.
A test of what is real is that it is hard and rough. Joys are found in it, not pleasure. What is pleasant belongs to dreams.
Weil, Simone

3.
Everything is a dangerous drug except reality, which is unendurable.
Cyril Connolly

4.
Literary works cannot be taken over like factories, or literary forms of expression like industrial methods. Realist writing, of which history offers many widely varying examples, is likewise conditioned by the question of how, when and for what class it is made use of.
Brecht, Bertolt

5.
I believe in looking reality straight in the eye and denying it.
Garrison Keillor

6.
Joel: That's the movies, Ed. Try reality. Ed: No thanks.
Ellen Herman

7.
What our eyes behold may well be the text of life but one's meditations on the text and the disclosures of these meditations are no less a part of the structure of reality.
Stevens, Wallace

8.
Set up as an ideal the facing of reality as honestly and as cheerfully as possible.
Dr. Karl Menninger

9.
Reality is the leading cause of stress amongst those in touch with it.
Jane Wagner

10.
The genuine artist is never true to life. He sees what is real, but not as we are normally aware of it. We do not go storming through life like actors in a play. Art is never real life.
Stevens, Wallace

11.
Important days don't look like anything special when they start. Invariably, the sun rises and people wake up. Coffee is swilled and eggs are swallowed. Everybody goes about the business of acting like their lives matter and then, no matter how important the events of the day end up being, the sun invariably sets. The sun rose before the soldiers stormed Omaha Beach on D-Day, and the sun set after Archduke Franz Ferdinand was killed. Sunrises and sunsets are real jerks about putting things in perspective.
Josh Lieb

12.
You bluffed me! I don't like it when people bluff me. It makes me question my perception of reality.
Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider

13.
Fear not what is not real, never was and never will be. What is real, always was and cannot be destroyed.
Bhagavad Gita

14.
Reality is a question of perspective; the further you get from the past, the more concrete and plausible it seems --but as you approach the present, it inevitably seems incredible.
Rushdie, Salman

15.
Humankind cannot stand very much reality.
T. S. Eliot

16.
I've wrestled with reality for 35 years, Doctor, and I'm happy to state I finally won out over it.
Mary Chase

17.
Meaning and reality were not hidden somewhere behind things, they were in them, in all of them.
Hesse, Hermann

18.
The real distinction is between those who adapt their purposes to reality and those who seek to mold reality in the light of their purposes.
Henry Kissinger

19.
The unreal is natural, so natural that it makes of unreality the most natural of anything natural. That is what America does, and that is what America is.
Stein, Gertrude

20.
Our intention creates our reality.
Dyer, Wayne

21.
He who thinks he is raising a mound may only in reality be digging a pit.
Bramah, Ernest

22.
Reality leaves a lot to the imagination.
Lennon, John

23.
What is meant by reality? It would seem to be something very erratic, very undependable -- now to be found in a dusty road, now in a scrap of newspaper in the street, now a daffodil in the sun. It lights up a group in a room and stamps some casual saying
Woolf, Virginia

24.
Facts as facts do not always create a spirit of reality, because reality is a spirit.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.

25.
Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.
Philip K. Dick

26.
Reality is for people who can't face drugs.
Peter, Laurence J.

27.
Reality is neither good nor bad; it just is.
Dale, Arbie M.

28.
The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.
Lincoln, Abraham

29.
Why is it that reality, when set down untransposed in a book, sounds false?
Weil, Simone

30.
Realism should only be the means of expression of religious genius... or, at the other extreme, the artistic expressions of monkeys which are quite satisfied with mere imitation. In fact, art is never realistic though sometimes it is tempted to be. To be really realistic a description would have to be endless.
Camus, Albert

31.
Realism...has no more to do with reality than anything else.
Hob Broun

32.
I prefer the honest jargon of reality to the outright lies of books.
Rostand, Jean

33.
In nature, the emphasis is in what is rather than what ought to be.
Smith, Huston

34.
The supreme reality of our time is the vulnerability of this planet.
Kennedy, John F.

35.
To be realistic today is to be visionary. To be realistic is to be starry-eyed.
Humphrey, Hubert H.

36.
Reality is a crutch for people who can't cope with drugs.
Lily Tomlin

37.
You too must not count too much on your reality as you feel it today, since like yesterday, it may prove an illusion for you tomorrow.
Pirandello, Luigi

38.
Whatever is a reality today, whatever you touch and believe in and that seems real for you today, is going to be -- like the reality of yesterday -- an illusion tomorrow.
Pirandello, Luigi

39.
Reality is a prison, where one vegetates and always will. All the rest --thought, action --is just a pastime, mental or physical. What counts then, is to come to grips with reality. The rest can go.
Pavese, Cesare

40.
Realists do not fear the results of their study.
Dostoevsky, Fyodor

41.
The very definition of the real becomes: that of which it is possible to give an equivalent reproduction. The real is not only what can be reproduced, but that which is always already reproduced. The hyper real.
Baudrillard, Jean

42.
Humankind cannot bear very much reality.
Eliot, T. S.

43.
Nothing is more important than reconnecting with your bliss. Nothing is as rich. Nothing is more real.
Chopra, Deepak

44.
Reality is something you rise above.
Liza Minnelli

45.
It has sometimes been said that we find nowhere in nature an analogue of the difference between happens and is, on the one hand, and ought, on the other hand.
Kohler, Wolfgang

46.
The truly educated man is that rare individual who can separate reality from illusion.

47.
To hell with reality! I want to die in music, not in reason or in prose. People don't deserve the restraint we show by not going into delirium in front of them. To hell with them!
Celine, Louis-Ferdinand

48.
In the American metaphysic, reality is always material reality, hard, resistant, unformed, impenetrable, and unpleasant.
Trilling, Lionel

49.
Take things as they are. Punch when you have to punch. Kick when you have to kick.
Lee, Bruce

50.
Reality in our century is not something to be faced.
Greene, Graham
