Quotes About Reality

Bravo, ma per te sarà come un gioco, sarà come i ragazzini quando giocano a far gli indiani: farai l'indiano, ma i veri indiani siamo noialtri, veri operai e veri disoccupati; tu sarai sempre un indiano finto, ci avrai sempre papà con i suoi magazzini, di riserva, per tenerti su il morale, anche se, per puntiglio, ti lascerai morire di fame e il morale, nella disoccupazione, è tutto, bello mio.
~ Alberto Moravia

Come doveva essere bello il mondo", quando la vita non era come ora ridicola, ma tragica e si moriva, e si uccideva, e si odiava, e di amava sul serio, e si versavano vere lacrime per vere sciagure, e tutti gli uomini erano fatti di carne ed ossa e attaccati alla realtà come alberi alla terra.
~ Alberto Moravia

The Earthkeepers believe that the world is real, but only because we've dreamed it into being. But dreaming requires an act of courage, for when we lack it, we have to settle for the world that's being created by our culture or by our genes - we feel we have to settle for the nightmare. To dream courageously, we must be willing to use our hearts.
~ Alberto Villoldo
The dreamtime infuses all matter and energy, connecting every creature, every rock, every star, and every ray of light or bit of cosmic dust. The power to dream, then, is the power to participate in creation itself. Dreaming reality is not only an ability but a duty, one all humans must perform with grace so that our grandchildren will inherit a world where they can live in peace and abundance.
~ Alberto Villoldo
We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world. — Buddha

Death: the only true emotion felt in an apathetic world
~ Albom, Mitch
There will always be pigeons in books and in museums, but these are effigies and images, dead to all hardships and to all delights. Book-pigeons cannot dive out of a cloud to make the deer run for cover, or clap their wings in thunderous applause of mast-laden woods. Book-pigeons cannot breakfast on new-mown wheat in Minnesota, and dine on blueberries in Canada. They know no urge of seasons; they feel no kiss of sun, no lash of wind and weather. They live forever by not living at all.
~ Aldo Leopold

We are living now, not in the delicious intoxication induced by the early successes of science, but in a rather grisly morning-after, when it has become apparent that what triumphant science has done hitherto is to improve the means for achieving unimproved or actually deteriorated ends.
~ Aldous Huxley
You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you mad.
~ Aldous Huxley

I've often thought that there isn't any "I" at all; that we are simply the means of expression of something else; that when we think we are ourselves, we are simply the victims of a delusion.
~ Aleister Crowley

8 y 1/2 h. Mi cuerpo no quiere levantarse, sino seguir durmiendo. Entreabro los ojos, aspirando los objetos de la habitación. Los cierro de nuevo, suspirando. ¡Cuántas cosas pierdo! ¡Cuántas sensaciones, vivencias, aprendizajes! ¡Todo por morir un poco más! ¡Todo por vivir menos, en ésta, mi dolorosa e irreal realidad!
~ Alejandra Pizarnik
Sometimes we suffer too much reality in the space of a single night.
