Reality

"The grass is not only greener on the side you water but also on the side you prevent preys from feeding on. Learn to keep out the preys and see your lawn flourish."

"Proof, once again, that reality was not objective, but always waiting to be reshaped and redefined by one's attitude."

"...the longer one stays in full flight from reality, the more painful will be the landing."

"Where does fiction end and reality begin?"

"Reality might be described as the eternal equipoise of positive and negative."

"I myself find the division of the world into an objective and a subjective side much too arbitrary. The fact that religions through the ages have spoken in images, parables, and paradoxes means simply that there are no other ways of grasping the reality to which they refer. But that does not mean that it is not a genuine reality. And splitting this reality into an objective and a. subjective side won't get us very far."

"Words, no matter whether they are vocalized and made into sounds or remain unspoken as thoughts, can cast an almost hypnotic spell upon you. You easily lose yourself in them, become hypnotized into implicitly believing that when you have attached a word to something, you know what it is. The fact is: You don’t know what it is. You have only covered up the mystery with a label. Everything, a bird, a tree, even a simple stone, and certainly a human being, is ultimately unknowable. This is because it has unfathomable depth. All we can perceive, experience, think about, is the surface layer of reality, less than the tip of an iceberg."

"Nothing is pending in the world…nothing is finished, yet nothing is unresolved…Everything is filled to the brim."

"Today we live in a society that seems to be less and less concerned with reality. We drink instant coffee and reconstituted orange juice. We buy our vegetables on cardboard trays covered with plastic. But perhaps the most dehumanizing thing of all is that we have allowed the media to call us consumers--ugly. No! I don't want to be a consumer. Anger consumes. Forest fires consume. Cancer consumes."

"I had a real life completely separate from beliefs, from the common reality made up of shared beliefs..."

"Don't let reality, get in way of your dreams."

"When he first said my diagnosis, I couldn't believe it. There must be another PTSD than post-traumatic stress disorder, I thought. I have only heard of war veterans who have served on the front lines and seen the horrors of battle being diagnosed with PTSD. I am a Beverly Hills housewife, not a soldier. I can't have PTSD. Well, I was wrong. Housewives can get PTSD, too, and yours, truly did."

"The living world is a dream. The nocturnal dream is reality."

"Perhaps this is why one reads fiction to begin with - to live a more interesting reality than one's daily life."

"Done and over with ... weeding is a must, it's necessary!"

"Because in this world, there is a line: on one side are the men who cannot get things done, and on the other side are the men who can. And not one in a hundred will cross that line. Will you?"

"Reality wasn't as important as people made it out to be; to Jude it was simply the physical state in which he found himself, an environment he had limited control over."

"One should clearly know that " Every thought that one thinks and every action based on that thought, is taking us either closer to our principal purpose or away from it" Watch out then ...as thoughts become realities!"

"But you knoe, she's right. Every single day, each time I see her face, see her, it's utterly precious."

"Reality is messy, but fairytale is clean"
