Illusions... are simple facts, but they have been created by the mind, by the spirit, and they are one of the justifications of the new spatial configuration.
Georges Braque
Image
Illusion starts between the ears. If the person doing illusion doesn't believe it, then the audience doesn't believe it. Seeing the picture in your head will allow the audience to see it in their heads.
RuPaul
Image
Illusion is no longer possible, because the real is no longer possible.
Jean Baudrillard
Image
Illusion is an anodyne, bred by the gap between wish and reality.
Herman Wouk
Image
Illusions commend themselves to us because they save us pain and allow us to enjoy pleasure instead. We must therefore accept it without complaint when they sometimes collide with a bit of reality against which they are dashed to pieces.
Sigmund Freud
Image
Illusions only control you when you think they are real.
David Icke
Image
Illusions commend themselves to us because they save us pain and allow us to enjoy pleasure instead.
Sigmund Freud
Image
Illusion is needed to disguise the emptiness within.
Arthur Erickson
Image
Illusions mistaken for truth are the pavement under our feet. They are what we call civilization.
Barbara Kingsolver
Image
Illusions are shadows moving endlessly across the ground. The shadows are quite real but they're shadows. They have very little substance.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Illusions are bound to be shattered
Rajneesh
Image
Illusions are like umbrellas - you no sooner get them than you lose them, and the loss always leaves a little painful wound.
W. Somerset Maugham
Image
Illusion, Temperament, Succession, Surface, Surprise, Reality, Subjectiveness,--these are the threads on the loom of time, these are the lords of life.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
Illusion is the first of all pleasures.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Illusion - or rather appearance, semblance - is the theme of my life (could be theme of speech welcoming freshmen to the Academy). All that is, seems, and is visible to us because we perceive it by the reflected light of semblance. Nothing else is visible.
Gerhard Richter
Image
Illusions are important. What you foresee or what you remember can be as important as what really happens.
Javier Marías
Image
Illusion I will be, for I've never been a sinner.
David Bowie
Image
Illusion throughout is illusion. There is no end to it, just as there is no end to imagination.
Meher Baba
Image
Illusions are the truths we live by until we know better.
Nancy Gibbs
Image
Illusions and pipe dreams on the one hand And straight reality is always cold
Van Morrison
Image
Illusions as bad as mine make people aware of the fallacies of visual information and the pleasure to be derived from such fallacies.
Vik Muniz
Image
Illusions are to the soul what atmosphere is to the earth.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Professional philosophers are usually only apologists: that is, they are absorbed in defending some vested illusion or some eloquent idea. Like lawyers or detectives, they study the case for which they are retained.
George Santayana
Image
The first man to see an illusion by which men have flourished for centuries surely stands in a lonely place.
Gary Zukav
