Reality

"The job of reflection is to add a dimension of fable to the reality!"

"There is too much emphasis on being positive, to the detriment of being real."

"She’d never spoken to anyone before of this business of being seen, loved for who she was; to have it voiced by this man she’d just met sent chills down her spine."

"Though we think we see different things from our windows, in reality we see the same things: Happiness and sorrow! All that is seen from every window!"

"The USA radio frequency (RF) radiation industry has turned zombie movies into reality."

"Magic has its own weight, and that weight, the gravity of it, is pulling the fabric of reality like a bowling ball on a spandex sheet."

"He decided to re-read his story from the beginning. As he read he felt as if he was falling forwards into the blank, white spaces of the screen, and the words faded from his consciousness to be replaced completely by the things that they described."

"People may say it is better to face problems in life but I say run if you believe you can run faster."

"We welcome into our homes the machines that vacuum the thoughts out of our heads and pump in someone else's. John Berger in Ways of Seeing said that television advertisers succeeded by persuading viewers to envy themselves as they would be if they bought the product. These programmes do something similar, by persuading the viewer to envy himself as he would be if his life were that little bit more exciting and melodramatic than it actually is. They can make things seem normal that are not."

"Why am I made the way I am? Why do I care about all the wrong things, and nothing at all for the right ones? Or, to tip it another way: how can I see so clearly that everything I love or care about is illusion, and yet--for me, anyway--all that's worth living for lies in that charm?"

"But I didnt do anything wrong.." Which is stupid of course, things dont happen to people because they deserve them."

"Life is for those that deserve it. Those kings amongst men who can climb out of barrels and will dare to break through glass walls and to transcend all of this whatever it is, these eyes to the ground, this pretence, acting only as is expected and never as is intended. We have been told what is acceptable in what situation and so we take heed. This is not living. In the real world, in nature, there is no need to pretend. There is no place for it."

"I believe happiness is a chemical imbalance––it's a silly thing to strive for. But, satisfaction––if you seek satisfaction you can succeed."

"Then focus on thruth, not logic. Stop trying to figure out why and look for what is."

"That's the thing about people who mean everything they say. They think everyone else does."

"Reality is symbolic. We build it using only the 26 symbols of the alphabet alongside images that speak to us on a linguistic level built from the 26 symbols of the alphabet."

"To lose a problem, do not oppose, let go of any need to control, perhaps it's all an illusion we project, more like a game we play than real?"

"Building a good relationship with ourselves is essential for inner fulfilment, especially when we run into a large reality gap."

"Be Mindful of your thoughts. Your thoughts become your words. Your words become your actions. Your actions become your reality."

"No validation of our rationality - of our very sanity - can be accomplished using our rationality itself. How can a person operating within a system of beliefs, including beliefs about beliefs, get outside that system to determine whether it is rational? If your entire system becomes infected with madness, including the very rules by which you reason, then how can you ever reason your way out of your madness?"
