Reality

"The possibility of making an error and coming back to try again is real when you have not fully prepared."

"If you have to push yourself to do it, should you be doing it in the first place? That was a question I never dared to asked myself."

"We were not actually famous, I have to add. People were just drunk."

"It was all fine until the girls started drinking. (Everything is always fine up until that point.)"

"It is what it is."

"You can change someone by your actions, not by your words"

"Reality is a complex phenomenon, filled with dimensions, not the least of which are two that Christians affirm and understand: the physical and the spiritual. We are invited by Cervantes to enter into Don Quixote's imaginary world and reflect on these players. We are to ignore no points of view: neither the idealism of Don Quixote nor the realism/literalism of Sancho Panza. The point that comes across is this: we must not have a reductionist attitude toward reality."

"Reality is myself, reality is only the perception of this instant and it can't be related to another person."

"I think: you deserve to be what you are if you could bare to get that way. You must have seen it coming. And now there's nothing for you here. No one will protect you, and people won't see any reason not to do you harm."

"I didn't know who I was any longer, so I just was."

"The ego is a mean mechanism which mobilizes the absolute strongest rationalization traps in order to preserve itself."

"No matter what the good boys tell you, criminality is not a level playing field."

"Imagination should be used, not to escape reality, but to create it."

"You maintain hope for humanity as an infinite skeptic of gossip and slander. In all mankind's desires for entertainment and exaggeration and sensationalism, when it comes to gossip, the individual always sounds worse than he really is. This is why adhering to gossip subtly affects the mental state of the listener - he goes on holding shady opinions regardless of where the realities of their lights and darknesses may stand."

"But I consoled myself with the reflexion that in spite of everything she was for me the real point of intersection between reality and dream."

"Reality was dawning on him and he hated reality. If you were him, so would you."

"There are two types of women— the type that makes a man feel like he is the best and the type that makes a man feel like becoming a better man. And then I suppose it is all up to the man and what he wants in life— whether he wants to go through life feeling like he is the best or if he wants to go through life becoming better and better. In reality, we are all at our worst when we have ceased the process of become better and better."

"There is nothing wrong with dreaming, but there is everything wrong with dreaming without any intention to make the dream a reality."

"The only time I want someone's opinion is when I ask for it. Reason why I don't ask for anyone's opinion nowadays is because they are too afraid, they always cover the truth with a lie, which is something I hate tremendously. When I ask for your opinion; I want full brutal honesty, face on, outright! Not a lot of people can do that, which is sad, very sad indeed..."

"People want things to be real. If you give them an excuse, they'll believe you."
