Vs Reality Quotes

#1. But stranger than that was the feeling he had, that everything had been worth it, that all his miseries were going to end, that he was going to a life that would be as good as, perhaps better than, anything he had read about in books. #Quote by Hanya Yanagihara

#2. Fantasies were fantasies, but it was important to keep at least one foot in the realm of the real. #Quote by Kristen Roupenian

#3. When it's time to confess, you don't know what you're saying. Are you telling the truth, or do you confuse your lies with reality? The question is comical. The answer is lost in the maelstroms of consciousness. It's even impossible to pretend, eventually, that the question wasn't asked. You've been kidding yourself about yourself for so long, you're someone else. Your you is just a fragile fabrication. Every morning, you have to wake up, assemble this busy, dissembling monster, and get him or her on his or her feet again for another round of fantasy. #Quote by David Guterson

#4. How wide the gulf between Henry as he was and Henry as Helen thought he ought to be! And she herself - hovering as usual between the two, now accepting men as they are, now yearning with her sister for Truth. Love and Truth - their warfare seems eternal. Perhaps the whole visible world rests on it, and if they were one, life itself, like the spirits when Prospero was reconciled to his brother, might vanish into air, into thin air. #Quote by E.M. Forster

#5. The Widening Gap Between Our Fanciful Expectations and The Bitter Reality of This World Is What We Often Unknowingly Refer To, As Stress or Depression". #Quote by Venugopal Acharya

#6. Inhumanity is part of humanity as much as suffering is a part of stories. Cruelty is written in the human script. #Quote by Johnny Rich

#7. Job understood that he was nothing more than God's invention and so too was his suffering #Quote by Johnny Rich

#8. Then she will marry the man whom she is currently trying to find both online and in real life, the man with the smile lines and the dog and/or cat, the man with an interesting surname that she can double-barrel with Jones, the man who earns the same as or more than her, the man who likes hugs more than sex and has nice shoes and beautiful skin and no tattoos and a lovely mum and attractive feet. The man who is at least five feet ten, but preferably five feet eleven or over. The man who has no baggage and a good car and a suggestion of abdominal definition although a flat stomach would suffice.
This man has yet to materialize and Libby is aware that she is possibly a little over-proscriptive. #Quote by Lisa Jewell

#9. Every encounter with the external world presents a conflict with a person's cherished inner world. How we resolve these ongoing boarder conflicts between reality and ideas results in tectonic shifts in our mental makeup, which influx we incorporate by responding to the never-ending chaos of a worldly life. #Quote by Kilroy J. Oldster

#10. ...heroes represent success, the acquisition of true love, and a prosperous future, whereas villains embrace the more realistic and less glamorized version of our reality - a world in which not every problem can be solved with a sweep of a magic wand or true love's kiss." Whitney Atkinson - Glamorized Recovery: Expectation vs. Reality. #Quote by Amerie

#11. His suffering was no more real than he was. #Quote by Johnny Rich

#13. Non-fiction is to theory as fiction is to experience. #Quote by Joyce Rachelle

#14. I have a tendency to break rules and shake things up. I would say that with me people never know what is real and what is fiction. And I like that because reality is relative. #Quote by Nuno Roque

#15. Soon our culture's oldest dreams will be made real. Even the thought of sending a kind of flying craft to the moon is no longer nothing more than a child's fantasy. At this moment in the cities below us, the first mechanical men are being constructed that will have the capability to pilot the ship on its maiden voyage. But no one has asked if this dream we've had for so long will lose its value once it's realized. What will happen when those mechanical men step out of their ship and onto the surface of this moon, which has served humanity for thousands of years as our principal icon of love and madness? When they touch their hands to the ground and perform their relentless analyses and find no measurable miracles, but a dead gray world of rocks and dust? When they discover that it was the strength of millions of boyhood daydreams that kept the moon aloft, and that without them that murdered world will fall, spiraling slowly down and crashing into the open sea? #Quote by Dexter Palmer

#16. Who makes things up? Who tells the real story? We all turn our lives into stories. It is a defining characteristic of our species. We retell our experiences. We quickly learn what parts are interesting to our listeners and what parts lag, and we shape our narratives accordingly. It doesn't mean we aren't telling the truth; we've simply learned which parts to leave out. Every time we tell the story again, we don't go back to the original event and start from scratch, we go back to the last time we told the story. It's the story we shape and improve on, we don't change what happened. This is also a way we have of protecting ourselves. It would be too painful to relive a childhood illness or the death of your best friend every time you had to speak of it. By telling the story from the story, instead of from the actual events, we are able to distance ourselves from our suffering. It also gives us the chance to make the story something people can hear. #Quote by Ann Patchett

#17. There are two rules for success...
1. Never reveal everything you know. #Quote by Ylond Miles-Davis

#18. It was a fictional story, but like any good fiction, without the need to adjust or conceal the truth, it actually might be
the greatest expression of truth. #Quote by Jacqueline Simon Gunn

#19. Those who look outside can only see an illusion. Those who look inside may see the reality. #Quote by Debasish Mridha

#20. It was a dark and clouded night, but the tracks led to the lake like a broad path. Sylvie walked in front of me. We stepped on every other tie, although that made our stride uncomfortably long, because stepping on every tie made it uncomfortably short. But it was easy enough. I followed after Sylvie with slow, long, dancer's steps, and above us the stars, dim as dust in their Babylonian multitudes, pulled through the dark along the whorls of an enormous vortex
for that is what it is, I have seen it in pictures
were invisible, and the moon was long down. I could barely see Sylvie. I could barely see where I put my feet. Perhaps it was only the certainty that she was in front of me, and that I need only put my foot directly before me, that made me think I saw anything at all. #Quote by Marilynne Robinson

#21. If you make fiction just as valuable as reality, then any reality you don't need can be a delusion #Quote by Ryohgo Narita

#22. When he thought he was doing something that made a difference to people, he could bear any burden [Moses]. When he lost that sense of achievement, he became too discouraged to keep on doing the hard things. #Quote by Harold S. Kushner

#23. Are you a man?' The question slipped out, and she regretted it. Regretted injecting reality into this delicate, lovely dream of passion. 'I thought I had conclusively proved my manhood to you. Shall I do it again? #Quote by Christina Dodd

#24. When I'm writing something and I'm really into it, that's all I can think about, and it becomes the most important thing in the world to me, and it may not be that, in reality. #Quote by Ray McKinnon

#25. Reality, in its quantitative aspect, must be considered as a system of populations ... The general study of the equilibria and dynamics of populations seems to have no name; but as it has probably reached its highest development in the biological study known as 'ecology,' this name may well be given to it. #Quote by Kenneth E. Boulding

#26. ...The plain unvarnished reality that we cannot escape who we are and most of the time we die as we lived. #Quote by Chris Bohjalian

#27. The most valuable lesson anyone learns in life should be learned as early as possible. That you don't have to live in the reality someone else had invented. You don't have to do anything you don't want to do. Ever. #Quote by Penelope Douglas

#28. Don't Take Anything Personally Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won't be the victim of needless suffering. #Quote by Nikki Sixx

#29. It's 5:22pm you're in the grocery checkout line. Your three-year-old is writhing on the floor, screaming, because you have refused to buy her a Teletubby pinwheel. Your six-year-old is whining, repeatedly, in a voice that could saw through cement, "But mommy, puleeze, puleeze" because you have not bought him the latest "Lunchables," which features, as the four food groups, Cheetos, a Snickers, Cheez Whiz, and Twizzlers. Your teenager, who has not spoken a single word in the past foor days, except, "You've ruined my life," followed by "Everyone else has one," is out in the car, sulking, with the new rap-metal band Piss on the Parentals blasting through the headphones of a Discman. To distract yourself, and to avoid the glares of other shoppers who have already deemed you the worst mother in America, you leaf through People magazine. Inside, Uma thurman gushes "Motherhood is Sexy." Moving on to Good Housekeeping, Vanna White says of her child, "When I hear his cry at six-thirty in the morning, I have a smile on my face, and I'm not an early riser." Another unexpected source of earth-mother wisdom, the newly maternal Pamela Lee, also confides to People, "I just love getting up with him in the middle of the night to feed him or soothe him." Brought back to reality by stereophonic whining, you indeed feel as sexy as Rush Limbaugh in a thong. #Quote by Susan J. Douglas

#30. If we care to know how deep the suffering of Christ goes - and how vast and even violent is the restoration process through Christ's suffering - then we had better start with knowing the dark, cruel reality of the fallen world. If we care to embrace hope despite what encompasses us, the impossibility of life and the inevitability of death, then we must embrace a vision that will endure beyond our failures. We should not journey toward a world in which"solutions" to the "problems" are sought, but a world that acknowledges the possibility of the existence of grace beyond even the greatest of traumas, the Ground-Zero realities of our lives. #Quote by Makoto Fujimura

#31. In this world of illusion, where at the end of the examination, we find everything to be of little importance, of little worth, if there is a sign of reality, of something one can depend upon, and in which one can recognize a sign of eternity, it is in the constancy of friendship. #Quote by Hazrat Inayat Khan

#32. The world isn't big enough for all of us. #Quote by S.R. Crawford

#33. People see what they want to see. #Quote by John Green

#34. But some of these theories are so bold that they can clash with reality: they are the testable theories of science. And when they clash, then we know that there is a reality; something that can inform us that our ideas are mistaken. #Quote by Karl Popper

#35. The entire universe - for one thing - only exists in your perceptions. That's all you're gonna see of it. To all practical intents and purposes this is purely some kind of lightshow that's being put on in the kind of neurons in our brain. The whole of reality. #Quote by Alan Moore

#36. I should point out, nevertheless, that even though incomplete data can lead to a false picture, this is far different from the (false) picture obtained by those who choose to ignore empirical data to invent a picture of reality (young earthers, for example), or those who instead require the existence of something for which there is no observable evidence whatsoever (like divine intelligence) to reconcile their view of creation with their a priori prejudices, or worse still, those who cling to fairly tales about nature that presume the answers before questions can even be asked. #Quote by Lawrence M. Krauss

#37. All fiction comes from a little bit of reality, otherwise it would have no relevance. The fun is in innovation, take something real like this fair, and make it something larger than life. #Quote by Garrison Keillor

#38. The theory behind AltConf is simple: it's worth being in town for WWDC, even if you don't have tickets, and if you're already there, you might as well go to the conference next door. The reality of what AltConf has become is an important addition to the very controlled stream of information Apple provides. Some of the industry's best speakers don't work at Apple, and some of the industry's most important topics aren't being discussed by Hair Force One. #Quote by Mike Lee

#39. I have a foot here and a foot in some spirit world. There are many more layers to reality, and that permeates my life and my writing in a very natural way. I don't even think about it. #Quote by Isabel Allende

#40. Imagination alone is not enough, because the reality of nature is far more wondrous than anything we can imagine #Quote by Neil DeGrasse Tyson

#41. If you're still in it, it's hard to talk about it. I wasn't able to attach in the way that you need to attach and open up in the way that you need to open up in order to have any type of relationship with a therapist." This was a stunning revelation: So many patients are in and out of treatment, unable to meaningfully connect because they are still "in it." Of course, when people don't know who they are, they can't possibly see the reality of the people around them. #Quote by Bessel A. Van Der Kolk

#42. It's simple,' Kat told them. 'You bombard them with images of what they ought to be, and you make them feel grotty for being the way they are. You're working with the gap between reality and perception. That's why you have to hit them with something new, something they've never seen before, something they aren't. Nothing sells like anxiety. #Quote by Margaret Atwood

#43. But we can be nearly sure that those whose love for God has caused their pure loves here below to disappear are false friends of God. Our neighbour, our friends, religious ceremonies and the beauty of the world do not fall in rank to unreal things after direct contact between God and the soul. On the contrary, only then do these things become real. Previously, they were half-dreams. Previously, they had no reality. #Quote by Simone Weil

#44. Are you ready to discover what is real? #Quote by Jesikah Sundin

#45. A strong visual imagination acts as a magnet to draw the visualised into reality. #Quote by Anupama Garg

#46. If I pay you lots of money to see reality in a certain way, you will. #Quote by Dan Ariely

#47. It is a strange thing that all the memories have these two qualities. They are always full of quietness, that is the most striking thing about them; and even when things weren't like that in reality, they still seem to have that quality. They are soundless apparitions, which speak to me by looks and gestures, wordless and silent - and their silence is precisely what disturbs me. #Quote by Erich Maria Remarque

#48. Time is not an absolute reality but an aspect of our consciousness. #Quote by Robert Lanza

#49. In reality, there is no highway to success. Therefore, be prepared for difficulties. #Quote by Eraldo Banovac

#50. A man who is stingy & self-centered while dating will be the same in marriage. #Quote by Gugu Mofokeng

#51. Sometimes it was better not to ever live the fantasy. Because when reality descended, it outlined in stark detail just how much the real world sucked. #Quote by Maya Banks

#52. A businessman is a hybrid of a dancer and a calculator. #Quote by Paul Valery

#53. he P.C.H. [Pacific Coast Highway] being one of them; the melancholiness of the ocean; the melancholiness of everything else.

And the feeling of being like, this is a fragment of a holographic reality that a higher consciousness made. #Quote by Jaden Willow Smith

#54. Awake it was difficult to find anything in that chaotic clutter, but asleep she could ... when the contours of reality were as faint as a tracery of pale ink. #Quote by Isabel Allende

#55. Often dream creates imageries based on your emotional inclination. #Quote by Abhijit Naskar

#56. We certainly strive for reality in terms of asking our audience to believe the motivations, reactions, and behavior of our characters, but do I know when Veronica has time to do her homework? Not really. #Quote by Rob Thomas

#57. Einstein did not want to relent on what was for him the key issue: that there was an objective reality independent of whoever interacts with whatever. #Quote by Carlo Rovelli

#58. In a real sense, the important question is never one of validity or truth. Truth exists in the realm of mathematics and in the philosophy of logic, not in perceptions of reality. For those who would understand the world about them, the question is not one of truth, but of utility. Do our investigations deepen our understanding, further our ability to ask more refined questions, and lead to better predictions of events? If so, then the research is justified. If not, it remains but sophistry. #Quote by Douglas Raybeck

#59. I can zero in on a vision of where I want to be in the future. I can see it so clearly in front of me, when I daydream, it's almost a reality. Then I get this easy feeling, and I don't have to be uptight to get there because I already feel like I'm there, that it's just a matter of time. #Quote by Arnold Schwarzenegger

#60. It is a crushing moment when you realize that your life has either been a series of huge mistakes, or worse; it hasn't. #Quote by Temperance

#61. Delight in itself is the approach of sanity. Delight is to open our eyes to the reality of the situation rather than siding with this or that point of view. #Quote by Chogyam Trungpa

#62. When one has made his demands upon the Universal, he must be ready for surprises. Everything may seem to be going wrong, when in reality, it is going right. #Quote by Florence Scovel Shinn
