“Guess that's where the tears came from, knowing that there's so much in this great big world that you don't have a single ounce of control over. Guess the sooner you learn that, the sooner you'll have one less heartbreak in your life.”
― Jacqueline Woodson, Red at the Bone

“She remembers people and fairies and dragons with equal clarity.”

“The average American watches more than four hours of TV each day. In a 65-year life, that person will have spent nine years glued to the tube. Why? Simple. Life sucks. Life needs an escape. Life is no good.
Show me someone who spends hours online playing Mafia Wars or Farmville, and I'll show you someone who probably isn't very successful. When life sucks, escapes are sought. I don't need television because I invested my time into a real life worth living, not a fictitious escape that airs every Tuesday night at 8 p.m.
Again, majority thinking yields mediocrity, and for that majority, time is an asset that is undervalued and mindlessly squandered.”
― M.J. DeMarco, The Millionaire Fastlane: Crack the Code to Wealth and Live Rich for a Lifetime!

“It was but imagination, yet imagination had all the terrors of reality; nay, it was worse, for the reality would have come and gone, and there an end, but in imagination it was always coming, and never went away.”
― Charles Dickens, The Old Curiosity Shop

“Prepare for reality, kids, because when all’s said and done, Prince Charming will throw you an ultimatum.”
― Eden Finley, Deke

“The bedrock basic stratum of reality is irreality; the universe is irrational because it is built not on mere shifting sand â€� but on that which is not.”
― Philip K. Dick, VALIS

“Fear always accompanies the making of art, generated by the shock of seeing an idea taking its form. A sculpture in the mind is safe and secure--the actual work rarely behaves as intended.”

― Oscar Levant

“For forty years his mission was his life and his life was his mission. And yet all remained to be done and nothing was completed.”
― Carson McCullers, The Heart is a Lonely Hunter

“We find ourselves in a historical moment of pervasive mediocrity. Fuelled by basic human drives - flights from death and boredom - the new technologies, bright and all consuming, increasingly blur the lines between direct experience and representation. A photograph of an apple is not food and the Internet has neither scent nor texture.”
― Jonathan Simons, The Analog Sea Review: Number One

“The apparent scene is slowly falling to pieces revealing the reality behind.”
― Iris Murdoch, The Sacred and Profane Love Machine

“Availability, meanwhile, means that you make judgement calls on the basis of whatever information comes to mind easiest, rather than deeply considering all the possible information that might be available to you. And that means we're hugely biased towards basing our world view on stuff that's happened most recently, or things that are particularly dramatic and memorable, while all the old, mundane stuff that's probably a more accurate representation of everyday reality just sort of …fades away.”
― Tom Phillips, Humans: A Brief History of How We F*cked It All Up

“You can't forget a person, so don't even try that. because you're indirectly reminding your mind of that person. by accepting the fact and the reality that, the person is no more attached to your present will lead you towards your goal but in a different way. So, Just go with the flow.”
― SiD

― Amish Tripathi

“Women dream in courtship, but wedlock wakes them.”
― Martine Bailey, A Taste for Nightshade

“There was, he added, a generalized yearning for the ideal of literature, as for the lost world of childhood, whose authority and reality tended to seem so much greater than that of the present moment. Yet to return to that reality even for a day would for most people be intolerable, as well as impossible: despite our nostalgia for the past and for history, we would quickly find ourselves unable to live there for reasons of discomfort, since the defining motivation of the modern era, he said, whether consciously or not, is the pursuit of freedom from strictness or hardships of any kind.”
― Rachel Cusk, Kudos

― Atle Jarnæs Lerøy

“When you put money first money will not manifest.”
― Kayambila Mpulamasaka

“When Reality Collides With Eternity Who You Have Served Will Decide Between Your Eternal Heaven Or Hell”
― John M. Sheehan

“I think delusion -- in a sense -- is the proper way of life and living sometimes. Since you can't always be grounded on truthhood or falsehood on every account, delusion seemingly acts as an intermediary or "equalizing glue" for the gaps of the unknown or unacceptable, among other things.”
― Andy Harglesis

“Social media exploits and triggers the same psychological mechanisms that religions do—the more followers a person has, the more truth/knowledge we assume they possess. But the irony is that "truest" and most knowledgable of human beings have been, and remain, virtually unknown by the masses. Reality is a big "place", those who take the rarely trodden path, meet rare souls.”
― Dana Hutton, The Art of Becoming: Creating Abiding Fulfillment in an Unfulfilled World

“We are a part of single consciousness, a mind which is dreaming billions of dreams, each dream is a illusion of life. In a brahman world this is a few milli seconds. All illusions will disappear when you are able to connect outside of your basic sensory limitations, you have to close your eyes and see with your mind in order to understand the illusion.”
― yogesh Desai
