There is a leap of faith with any conclusion the mind can conceive.

If there are infinite dimensions then there would be infinite alternate realities and if there are infinite alternate realities we would exist in almost all of them that would make all of us omnipresent...

Stanley Victor Paskavich

My eyes lingered on her naked body for several minutes. Was our relationship what she wanted? Was it satisfying for her? Was it what she dreamed of when she started falling in love with me? Did reality ever fulfill our dreams? Or do dreams just continually set us up for failure and disappointment?

T.B. Markinson

Words are the tools we use to express our reality.

Steve Maraboli

What ever you think, you can make it real.

Hamzat haruna Ribah

People withhold their forgiveness, thinking that it makes them badass. But really, the unwillingness to forgive is merely the wishing that things were better. You wish that you had better, you wish that someone else were better so they could have treated you better... it’s you making wishes. And that’s not badass. To forgive is to be able to look at the person and say “I accept that you weren’t any better than what you were”, “I accept what you were you and couldn’t have been what I wished you to be”, “I accept that things were the way they were and weren’t any better.” The ability to forgive is intertwined with the ability to accept the reality of the way things are/ the way a person is or was. You stop wishing things and you just accept. And hope is what says to you: “One day you’ll have what’s better.

But there's so much that was a lie, it's hard to figure out what was true, what was real, what matters.

Veronica Roth

Don't underestimate the power of being underestimated.

Tim Fargo

Life when one first arrives is a continual mortification as one's romantic illusions are successively shattered and the musical treasure-house of one's imagination crumbles before the hopelessness of the reality. Every day fresh experiences bring fresh disappointments.

Hector Berlioz

When people start liking people, that’s when someone has the ability to get hurt.

Lauren Barnholdt

What you knew in your childhood is true; the Otherworld of magic and enchantment is real, sometimes terribly real - and certainly more real than the factual reality which our culture has built up, brick by brick, to shut out colour and light and prevent us from flying.

Patrick Harpur

There is no branch of mathematics, however abstract, which may not some day be applied to phenomena of the real world.

Nicholas Lobachevsky

The world ultimately is what we say it is.

David Friedrich Strauss

A real man—real in all the ways that we recognize as real—finds himself suddenly abstracted from the world and deposited in a physical situation which could not possibly exist: sounds have aroma, smells have color and depth, sights have texture, touches have pitch and timbre. There he is informed by a disembodied voice that he has been brought to that place as a champion for his world. He must fight to the death in single combat against a champion from another world. If he is defeated, he will die, and his world—the real world—will be destroyed because it lacks the inner strength to survive.The man refuses to believe that what he is told is true. He asserts that he is either dreaming or hallucinating, and declines to be put in the false position of fighting to the death where no "real" danger exists. He is implacable in his determination to disbelieve his apparent situation, and does not defend himself when he is attacked by the champion of the other

Stephen R. Donaldson

It doubtless seems highly paradoxical to assert that Time is unreal, and that all statements which involve its reality are erroneous. Such an assertion involves a far greater departure from the natural position of mankind than is involved in the assertion of the unreality of Space or of the unreality of Matter. So decisive a breach with that natural position is not to be lightly accepted. And yet in all ages the belief in the unreality of time has proved singularly attractive.

J.M.E. McTaggart

When you prick a person with a needle, red blood comes out- that's the real world.

Haruki Murakami

For every quote, there is one that challenges it.

R. Alistair

Until I have learned how to express myself as a human, I will not consider speaking as a god.

Michael Walterich

I no longer knew what was real and what wasn’t. The lines between reality and delusion had become so blurred.

A.B. Shepherd

The better you were able to imagine what you wanted to imagine, the farther you could flee from reality.

Haruki Murakami

There is an implicit recognition here that important things in life are not always immediately visible, and can't always be named, or even fully understood. Others still are entirely imaginary -- like a red tree growing suddenly in a room -- although this does not make them any less real.

Shaun Tan

You're 82 years old. You've shrunk six centimetres, you only weigh 45 kilos yet you're still beautiful, graceful and desirable. We've lived together now for 58 years and I love you more than ever. I once more feel a gnawing emptiness in the hollow of my chest that is only filled when your body is pressed next to mine.

André Gorz

Nothing like being in a dream, then waking up to a nightmare.

Anthony Liccione

In books there are chapters to separate out the moments, to show that time is going by and things are changing, and sometimes the parts even have titles that are full of promise—'The Meeting', 'Hope', 'Downfall'—like paintings do. But in life there's nothing like that, no titles or signs or warnings, nothing to say 'Beware, danger!' or 'Frequent landslides' or 'Disillusion ahead'. In life you stand all alone in your costume, and too bad if it's in tatters.

Delphine de Vigan

The wise will admire you. The wishful will envy you. The weak will hate you. This is the reality for those who dare to be epic.

Steve Maraboli

In truth, people know very little about each other. I only know as much about you as I know about myself.

Vironika Tugaleva

Writing … is an addiction, an illusory release, a presumptuous taming of reality, a way of expressing lightly the unbearable. That we age and leave behind this litter of dead, unrecoverable selves is both unbearable and the commonest thing in the world — it happens to everybody. In the morning light one can write breezily, without the slight acceleration of one’s pulse, about what one cannot contemplate in the dark without turning in panic to God. In the dark one truly feels that immense sliding, that turning of the vast earth into darkness and eternal cold, taking with it all the furniture and scenery, and the bright distractions and warm touches, of our lives. Even the barest earthly facts are unbearably heavy, weighted as they are with our personal death. Writing, in making the world light — in codifying, distorting, prettifying, verbalizing it — approaches blasphemy.

John Updike

First, a bath. I'm feeling soiled. Too much contact with cold reality, I think.

Kerry Greenwood

If there are "Infinite Dimensions" then there would be infinite alternaterealities, and if there are infinite alternate realities we would existin almost all of them that would make all of us omnipresent.And if anyone of those beings was connected with all knowledge in all the realities they would fall under what most call a God..

Stanley Victor Paskavich

You humans always try to make things too simple, except when you’re trying to make things too complicated. You can never just be with what is.

Angelo Dirks

Everything looks uglier close up.

John Green

Or maybe I am justoutside enough,being the footstool observing from the corner,that I have a view of reality.

Thalia Chaltas

Appreciate her beauty, love her uniqueness and respect her reality.

M.F. Moonzajer

Even more remote from his way of thinking, even more impossible than any other thought, would have been words such as this: “Is it only I alone who have created this experience, or is it objective reality? Does the Master have the same feelings as I, or would mine amuse him? Are my thoughts new, unique, my own, or have the Master and many before him experienced and thought exactly the same?” No, for him there were no such analyses and differentiations. Everything was reality, was steeped in reality, full of it as bread dough is of yeast.

Hermann Hesse

I guess the sky in real life isn’t actually perfect. Maybe that’s what makes it so perfect.

Kami Garcia

May you one day find the place where your dreams and reality collide.

R.S. Novelle

In order to understand why one chooses to be a Tantric practitioner, there has to be an understanding of cause and effect, cyclic existence, the awareness that the reality that we think we are seeing is not reality as it really truly is. So enlightenment is seeing reality with bare awareness, non-conceptual reality.

Zeena Schreck

Life without Ethan was something worse than a nightmare.It was real.So real that I refused to believe it.

Kami Garcia

...if you project the image you wish the world to see, eventually it will become reality.

Tera Lynn Childs

A ruler must learn to persuade and not to compel... he must lay the best coffee hearth to attract the finest men... a good ruler has to learn his world's language... it's different for every world... the language of the rocks and growing things... the language you don't hear just with your ears... the Mystery of Life... not a problem to solve, but a reality to experience... Understanding must move with the flow of the process.

Frank Herbert

Cat can have kittens in the oven, girl, but that won’t ever make em muffins.

Stephen King

People want us, or want us dead, because of what we are, not who we are. It's hard.

James Patterson

...the real is coherent and probable because it is real, not real because it is coherent...

Maurice Merleau-Ponty

I am certain that a novelist is someone who attributes a different reality-value to the characters and events of his story than to those of 'real' life. A novelist is someone who confuses his own life with that of his characters.

Alain Robbe-Grillet

Human beings not only can't bear too much reality, we flee from reality when someone doesn't force us close enough to the fire to feel the heat on our faces.

Dean Koontz

the real is coherent and probable because it is real, and not real because it is coherent...

Maurice Merleau-Ponty

One absolutely sure way to be fearless is to speak the truth at all time about everything.

Amit Kalantri

Oneness with God is not a dream, it is the only reality. Everything else is an illusion.

E'yen A. Gardner

People want us, or want us dead, because of what we are, not who we are. It's hard.~Angel

James Patterson

The most risky liability of your life is 'the unspoken truth'.

Amit Kalantri

Actions speak louder than words, in fact. When we don't take action, we foster the mistaken reality of our old identity.

Eric Samuel Timm

If you have a strong stomachread on.

Amanda Leigh

Temporary extreme fear while saying the truth is easy to overcome than the perpetual fear of the unspoken truth.

Amit Kalantri

Lord, What a terrible shame. You're so attractive!'I know, I want to tell her. It should have happened to someone really ugly. And then it wouldn't have mattered.

Liz Jensen

What we find to love or to hate comes to us as a substitute for something else.

Paula Marantz Cohen

Believe in your ability to create the future. That's what leaders do-that is our job. Understand reality but never be imprisoned by it. Reality is a moment in time. The future has not yet been written-it is written by leaders.

Mark Miller

We are the masters of our reality.

Kat Von D.

For a moment, the cardboard sets come crashing down to reveal that squalling monster, reality, locked up in the confines of its man-made cage. It is a fearsome thing, beautiful, inherent only to itself. Faced with such naked, existential truths, I understand why humans worship flesh-eating monsters and bloodthirsty gods.But only for a moment.

Nenia Campbell

Censors tend to do what only psychotics do: they confuse reality with illusion.

David Cronenberg

Last night I thought about all that kerosene I've used in the past ten years. And I thought about books. And for the first time I realized that a man was behind each one of the books. A man had to think them up. A man had to take a long time to put them down on paper. And I'd never even thought that thought before." He got out of bed."It took some man a lifetime maybe to put some of his thoughts down, looking around at the world and life and then I come along in two minutes and boom! it's all over.""Let me alone," said Mildred. "I didn't do anyt
