Realist painting has to do with leaving out a lot of detail. I think my painting can be a little shocking in all that it leaves out. But what happens is that the mind fills in what's missing . . . Painting is a way of making you see what I saw.
Alex Katz

Realists do not fear the results of their study.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Image
Realists know where they're going. Dreamers have already been there.
Robert Orben
Image
I always say I am a realist, and my mom says, No, you just have anxiety.
Jessica Chastain
Image
I think I probably hoped for it a little bit, but I'm not an optimist. I'm a realist... or maybe even a pessimist.
Clay Aiken
Image
The sentences I write have their roots in song and poetry, and take their bearings from music and painting, as much as from the need to impart mere information, or mirror anything. I am not a realist writer, even if I seem like one.
Colm Toibin
Image
I'm not sexist, I'm just a realist.
Adam Carolla
Image
When I was very, very young, seven years old, I heard there was school where you could go to learn to draw. That was my absolute driven passion, to become an artist or a painter. So the romantic realist in me, I studied to be a graphic design artist and an art teacher.
David Coverdale

I am surprised by the word psychedelic. João Gilberto Noll does not accept realism in a straightforward way, but I am more inclined to call Quiet Creature a realist text than I am to call it a psychedelic one. The transcendent aspect of the psychedelic experience is totally absent.
Adam Morris
Image
There's evil in the world, all right. Being aware of it makes you a realist, not a paranoid.
Dean Koontz
Image
When I use the term complex realism, what I'm suggesting is that the writer must be realist, always realist, but not realist in the sense we have usually used the term in literature. If reality today is different from the reality of 30 years ago, we can't keep describing reality in the same way as we did 30 years ago.
Agustin Fernandez Mallo

When I was starting out, science fiction was a little genre over there, which only a few people read. But now -- where are you going to put, for example, Salman Rushdie? Or any of the South American writers? Most people get by calling them magical realists.
Doris Lessing
Image
I have for a long time loved fabulist, imaginative fiction, such as the writing of Italo Calvino, Jose Saramago, Michael Bulgakov, and Salman Rushdie. I also like the magic realist writers, such as Borges and Marquez, and feel that interesting truths can be learned about our world by exploring highly distorted worlds.
Alan Lightman

First, I was an idealist (that was early - fools are born, not made, you know) next I was a realist now I am a pessimist, and, by Jove! if things get much worse I'll become a humorist.
Ellen Glasgow
Image
Romantics value intensity over stability. Realists value security over passion. But both are often disappointed, for few people can live happily at either extreme.
Esther Perel
Image
[Golfers] are a special kind of moral realist who nips the normal romantic and idealistic yearnings in the bud by proving once or twice a week that life is unconquerable but endurable.
Alistair Cooke
Image
The most important thing taught to my students is to not be so photo realist in what they depict.
Frank Bruno
Image
I'm a realist and a dreamer. There are certain things you can give certain people and certain things you can't.
Amy Winehouse
Image
Faith does not, in the realist, spring from the miracle but the miracle from faith. If the realist once believes, then he is bound by his very realism to admit the miraculous also.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Image
I am not a surrealist. I am only a realist. All this group - surrealists - use my name. No, no, I am realist.
Andre Kertesz
Image
Reading the morning newspaper is the realist's morning prayer.

Image
I sing to the realists people who accept it like it is.
Aretha Franklin
Image
Some who call themselves realists question whether the spread of democracy in the Middle East should be any concern of ours. But the realists in this case have lost contact with a fundamental reality: America has always been less secure when freedom is in retreat America is always more secure when freedom is on the march.
George W. Bush
Image
Anyone who does not believe in miracles is not a realist.
