Laugh not at the dead, for the corpse at your feet is prophetic of your own destiny.
Mamur Mustapha
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?
Rebecca Goldstein
Be Mindful of your thoughts. Your thoughts become your words. Your words become your actions. Your actions become your reality.
Kemi Sogunle
Building a good relationship with ourselves is essential for inner fulfilment, especially when we run into a large reality gap.
Russ Harris
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?
Jay Woodman
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.
Dean Cavanagh
That's the thing about people who mean everything they say. They think everyone else does.
Khaled Hosseini
Then focus on thruth, not logic. Stop trying to figure out why and look for what is.
Kristi Ann Hunter
I believe happiness is a chemical imbalance––it's a silly thing to strive for. But, satisfaction––if you seek satisfaction you can succeed.
Lydia Lunch
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.
Oli Anderson
But I didnt do anything wrong.." Which is stupid of course, things dont happen to people because they deserve them.
Holly Black
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?
Donna Tartt
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.
Peter Hitchens
Love is reality without judgement
Prince Ea
The pale fabric of reality has so many hidden pockets that we can find some change in here somewhere - you just have to dig a little deeper to avoid the chewing gum and past mistakes.
Corey Taylor
Perception is to be blamed. It, if given due attention, keeps changing.
Pawan Mishra
Sometimes love them more than you, but just make sure you love yourself too.
Dominic Riccitello
He was good and then really good and then bad and then really bad, but since he was good I got lost in the thought that I could fix it.
Dominic Riccitello
Life is not fair, get used to it
Bill Gates
What one exorcises in this [imagery] way at little cost, and for the price of a few tears, will never in effect be reproduced
Jean Baudrillard
To dissimulate is to pretend not to have what one has. To simulate is to feign to have what one doesn't have.
Jean Baudrillard
What happens when one has striven long and hard to develop a working view of the world, a seemingly useful, workable map, and then is confronted with new information suggesting that the view is wrong and the map needs to be largely redrawn? The painful effort required seems frightening, almost overwhelming. What we do more often than not, and usually unconsciously, is to ignore the new information. Often this act of ignoring is much more than passive. We may denounce the new information as false, dangerous, heretical, the work of the devil. We may actually crusade against it, and even attempt to manipulate the world so as to make it conform to our view of reality. Rather than try to change the map, an individual may try to destroy the new reality.
M. Scott Peck
Relationships are the flavors of life.
Pawan Mishra
One truism lay underneath every choice and word: change what people think and you change the world.
Michael R. Fletcher
As an evil cultist, I make an excellent evil cultist. Only I'm stupid, and not evil. And I worship nothing, really.
Will Advise
it is with this same imperialism that present-day simulators attempt to make the real, all of the real, coincide with their models of simulation.
Jean Baudrillard
If they keep coming back to you, it isn't love. It is because you made yourself and easy option. The moment the thing they truly want becomes less difficult to obtain is when you will realize that your worth was on sale.
Shannon L. Alder
Since the beginningnot one unusual thinghas ever happened.
Eliezer Yudkowsky
Today abstraction is no longer that of the map, the double, the mirror, or the concept. Simulation is no longer that of a territory, a referential being, or a substance. It is the generation by models of a real without origin or reality: a hyperreal.
Jean Baudrillard
Of the things that followed I cannot at all say whether they were what men call real or what men call dream. And for all I can tell, the only difference is that what many see we call a real thing, and what only one sees we call a dream. But things that many see may have no taste or moment in them at all, and things that are shown only to one may be spears and water-spouts of truth from the very depth of truth.
C.S. Lewis
I subscribe to the anthropic principle: there are an infinite number of infinite universes, each with slightly different physical laws. Only some of them have the right parameters, such as gravity the right strength to allow stars to be born and live long. Where the charge on the electron is right to allow complex molecules to form, etc.Ours is one that allows intelligent life to form, so that the universe may wonder at itself. We *are* the universe, in wonder of itself. -- Google: "Anthropic principle
William Donelson
Nobody is going to save you but yourself and the ‘best’ and only way to do so isthrough action.
Oli Anderson
Where there is no consciousness, there is no time.
Wayne Gerard Trotman
They floated for a while, two flesher-shaped creatures and a giant worm in a cloud of spinning metal fragments, an absurd collection of imaginary debris, glinting by the light of the true stars.
Greg Egan

Debasish Mridha
Badmouthing things and other people is another way to appear smarter in front of the many.It's sad that some people use this dirty trick just to increase their self worth...
Adrian Alconera
The truth can set us free but can hurt us sometimes...
Adrian Alconera
After two decades there she was, in front of him, almost within touching distance, not faded like in his dreams, but bright and clear and vividly real, looking comfortably, almost defiantly, the same as she always had and then everything she had never been.
Tan Redding
Your persistent deep driving desires and your intentional actions will become your reality.
Debasish Mridha
Realize Realization with Knowledge!
Joseph Berar
I THINK MYSELF TO BE SMART,I WOULD WIN EVEN THE DART,SUCCESS IS IN MY CART,TILL I KNOW REALITY PART,I DON'T KNOW EVEN TO START.
merlin8thomas
When I said confront, I meant that you need to confront the reality of your situation. You've made certain choices over your time here, and only you know why you made them. All of that, all of those decisions, have led you to where you are now.
Charlotte Huang
What is reality today was but a dream and an imagination not that long ago.
Debasish Mridha
Have you noticed how the cleverest people at school are not those who make it in life?People who are conventionally clever get jobs on their qualifications (the past), not on their desire to succeed (the future).Very simply, they get overtaken by those who continually strive to be better than they are.
Paul Arden
The use of travelling is to regulate imagination by reality, and instead of thinking how things may be, to see them as they are.
Samuel Johnson
it is dangerous to unmask images, since they dissimulate the fact that there is nothing behind them).
Jean Baudrillard
I'll borrow of imagination what reality will not give me.
Charlotte Brontë
How easily we get trapped in that which is not essential - in looking good, winning at competition, gathering power and wealth - when simply being alive is the gift beyond measure.
Parker J. Palmer
It is useless to dream of revolution through content, useless to dream of a revelation through form, because the medium and the real are now in a single nebula whose truth is indecipherable.
Jean Baudrillard
A funeral is like a little game, really. You have to just play along and say the right thing and behave the right way until it’s over. Be pleasant but don’t smile too much; be sad but don’t overdo it or the family will feel worse than they already do. Be hopeful but don’t let your optimism be taken as a lack of empathy or an inability to deal with the reality. Because if anybody was to be truly honest there would be a lot of arguments, finger-pointing, tears, snot, and screaming.
Cecelia Ahern
Our perception could either be our path to nirvana or an invisible cage that bottles us up.
Pawan Mishra
Sometimes we all get dusty by a few mundane and tiring affairs—and merely need a gentle soul wash to see, and get deeply entangled with, the fervors of life again.
Pawan Mishra
One is often unconsciously surrounded by one’s own personal reality
Pawan Mishra
Paradox /pera,daks/ noun1. Being told to wake up and come back to reality by your family and friends, while being dragged to church to hear a lesson on Jonah and the whale, followed by a sermon on believing in things you can't see without faith.
Shannon L. Alder
In spring, the snow must go; in fall, the leaves can't stay.
Marty Rubin
It has been utterly exhausting to love you.
Tan Redding
the worst thing, the thing that makes me want to blow my brains out, is: The secondhand experience is always better. The image is crisper, the view is keener, the camera angle and the soundtrack manipulate my emotions in a way reality can’t anymore. I don’t know that we are actually human at this point, those of us who are like most of us, who grew up with TV and movies and now the Internet. If we are betrayed, we know the words to say; when a loved one dies, we know the words to say. If we want to play the stud or the smart-ass or the fool, we know the words to say. We are all working from the same dog-eared script. It’s a very difficult era in which to be a person, just a real, actual person, instead of a collection of personality traits selected from an endless Automat of characters.
Gillian Flynn
But it turned out life was more like the kind of song the Stones wrote: you didn't get any satisfaction, you took one hit to the body after another, if you were a woman you were a bitch who belonged under someone's thumb, and if you wanted mother's little helper from your dear doctor you better have the silver, take it or leave it, and don't come crying for sympathy, that was just for the devil.
Joe Hill
It doesn’t take long for your fortunes to turn. One second you’re fluttery as a bird, the next you’re on the ground with your wings clipped.
Saim Cheeda
She felt damned. As though she were marching to her death. She felt like had been sentenced. And yet she felt eerily free.
Tan Redding
