If you prefer illusions to realities, it is only because all decent realities have eluded you and left you in the lurch or else your contempt for the world is mere hypocrisy and funk.
George Santayana
Image
Ideals are dangerous things. Realities are better. They wound, but they're better.
Oscar Wilde
Image
The Bible itself does not seem too bothered by the idea that talking of God suffering might in any way diminish God, or detract from his perfection. On the contrary, the Bible seems to revel in the richness of describing God in ways that reflect our own human realities.
Christopher J. H. Wright
Image
Education must prepare students to be independent, self-reliant human beings. But education, at its best, also must help students go beyond their private interests, gain a more integrative view of knowledge, and relate their learning to the realities of life.
Ernest L. Boyer
Image
Plot is people. Human emotions and desires founded on the realities of life, working at cross purposes, getting hotter and fiercer as they strike against each other until finally there's an explosion-that's Plot.
Leigh Brackett
Image
The effort really to see and really to represent is no idle business in face of the constant force that makes for muddlement. The great thing is indeed that the muddled state too is one of the very sharpest of the realities, that it also has color and form and character, has often in fact a broad and rich comicality.
Henry James
Image
Be willing to face life squarely and get down beneath the surface of life where the verities and realities are to be found.

The modern world, a world which has experienced marvelous achievements but which seems to have lost its sense of ultimate realities and of existence itself.
Pope John Paul II

One of the realities for women writers is that sometimes you'll start strong, but as you see people go up the ladder, working in their literary lives, getting prizes and awards and the better teaching gigs, women tend to sort of drop away.
Erin Belieu
Image
Books are influential in proportion to their obscurity, provided that the obscurity be that of inexpressible Realities. The Bible is the most obscure book in the world. He must be a great fool who thinks he understands the plainest chapter of it.
Coventry Patmore
Image
Democracy is still a radical idea in a world where we often confuse images with realities, words with actions.
Hillary Clinton
Image
Foreign policy is all about a universe of bad decisions, imperfect decisions every situation is different. The dynamics, the atmospherics, the people, the pressures, the geopolitical realities shift.
Chuck Hagel
Image
Religion is an attempt, a noble attempt, to suggest in human terms more-than-human realities.
Christopher Morley
Image
she was richer in those dreams than in realities for things seen pass away, but the things that are unseen are eternal.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Image
Both abundance and lack exist simultaneously in our lives, as parallel realities. It is always our conscious choice which secret garden we will tend.
Sarah Ban Breathnach
Image
The only feeling that anyone can have about an event he does not experience is the feeling aroused by his mental image of that event ... For it is clear enough that under certain conditions men respond as powerfully to fictions as they do to realities.
Walter Lippmann
Image
That has been my entire life story. Running against the current and running with the current. Sometimes running with the current is underestimated. The acceptance of certain realities doesn’t preclude idealism. It can lead to certain breakthroughs.
Rem Koolhaas

Mary Ellen Chase
Image
The things Nas' Illmatic was saying were sometimes hard realities but it was done on such a high level, I felt I could point to him as a representative. Someone who put my struggle and my worldview into poetry.
Erik Parker
Image
There are only two things that are absolute realities, love and knowledge, and you can't escape them.
Olive Schreiner
Image
I have lived long enough to be battered by the realities of life, and not too long to be downed by them.
John Mason Brown
Image
It was through the private world of family that the public world of politics came alive for me: living in intimate proximity with people for whom larger questions of ideology and belief, as well as issues relating to politics and governance, were vivid daily realities.
Sonia Gandhi
Image
The Church responds to antiquated social realities, and those realities remain much more current in Utah precisely because of the Church.
