Quotes about real
real evil purpose
Since one cannot educate adults, the word "education" has an evil sound in politics; there is a pretense of education, when the real purpose is coercion without the use of force. Hannah Arendt
reality expression adherence
Clichés, stock phrases, adherence to conventional, standardized codes of expression and conduct have the socially recognized function of protecting us against reality. Hannah Arendt
real sight quality
A life spent entirely in public, in the presence of others, becomes, as we would say, shallow. While it retains its visibility, it loses its quality of rising into sight from some darker ground which must remain hidden if it is not to lose its depth in a very real, non-subjective sense. Hannah Arendt
real writing brain
Music is supposed to be entertaining and if it touches you emotionally, so much the better. Sometimes you do it to save your own life, not anybody else's. That's why I write. I'm not trying to change anybody else's life or the world, I'm trying to keep from blowing my own brains out. That's the real point. Guy Clark
real knowing tree
It was different, though, knowing something in your thoughts and then hearing it confirmed, made real, planted in the world like a tree Guy Gavriel Kay
reality expression forever
Images detached from every aspect of life merge into a common stream, and the former unity of life is lost forever. Apprehended in a partial way, reality unfolds in a new generality as a pseudo-world apart, solely as an object of contemplation. The tendency toward the specialization of images-of-the-world finds its highest expression in the world of the autonomous image, where deceit deceives itself. The spectacle in its generality is a concrete inversion of life, and, as such the autonomous movement of non-life. Guy deBord
reality people unity
In societies where modern conditions of productions prevail, all of life presents itself as an immense accumulation of spectacles. Everything that was directly lived has moved away into representation. The images detached from every aspect of life fuse in a common stream in which the unity of this life can no longer be re-established. Reality considered partially unfolds, in its own general unity as a pseudo-world apart, an object of mere contemplation . . . The spectacle is not a collection of images, but a social relation among people, mediated by images. Guy deBord
real war struggle
War! When I but think of this word, I feel bewildered, as though they were speaking to me of sorcery, of the Inquisition, of a distant, finished, abominable, monstrous, unnatural thing. When they speak to us of cannibals, we smile proudly, as we proclaim our superiority to these savages. Who are the real savages? Those who struggle in order to eat those whom they vanquish, or those who struggle merely to kill? Guy de Maupassant
reality world wave
Learn to be one with who you are in Reality, and the waves of a thousand passing worlds cannot wash you away. Guy Finley
real real-life life-is
False life is exhausting; Real Life is inexhaustible. Guy Finley
real thinking way
Real change isn't found in some new way to think about yourself, but in freedom from the need to think about yourself at all. Guy Finley
real thinking differences
If any of those times you rushed around madly - trying to get somewhere faster - had ever made any real difference in the quality of your life... don't you think you'd be able to slow down by now? Guy Finley
real achievement degrees
Real achievement -- the true measure of how far we have advanced in life -- is not determined by what we have acquired, but rather by the degree to which we have put our fears behind us. Guy Finley
real real-love want
Real love cannot be deceived because it wants nothing outside of itself Guy Finley
reality want down-and
Do the moment-to-moment work of dropping anything that wants to drag you down, and Reality itself will see to it that you rise. Guy Finley
real needs firsts
No one rises above who he or she has been without first having fallen down. The best time - in fact, the only time - to make a real change in your life is in the moment of seeing the need for it. He who hesitates always gets lost in the hundred reasons why tomorrow is a better day to get started. Guy Finley
real wonder subjects
Real freedom isn't subject to how others estimate our value; it is in realizing that none are free who find their sense of worth wondering how others measure their lives. Guy Finley
real quality determined
The real quality of our life is not determined by what we have won from it, but by what we have discovered within it. Guy Finley
realized
He said everyone had a story ... and I realized it's not all about me.
real opposites natural
I fear that, with our current veneration for the natural and the real, we have arrived at the opposite pole to all idealism, and have landed in the region of the waxworks. Friedrich Nietzsche
reality self instinct
His (the theologian) basic instinct of self preservation forbids him to respect reality at any point or even to let it get a word in. Friedrich Nietzsche
reality language distortion
Reality is captured in the categorical nets of Language only at the expense of fatal distortion. Friedrich Nietzsche
real discovery people
Those people have no real interest in a science who only begin to get excited about it when they themselves have made discoveries in it. Friedrich Nietzsche
real taken foxes
A real fox calls sour not only those grapes that he cannot reach but also those that he has reached and taken away from others. Friedrich Nietzsche
real equality opposites
Logic, too, also rests on assumptions that do not correspond to anything in the real world, e.g., on the assumption that there areequal things, that the same thing is identical at different points in time: but this science arose as a result of the opposite belief (that such things actually exist in the real world). And it is the same with mathematics, which would certainly never have arisen if it had been understood from the beginning that there is no such thing in nature as a perfectly straight line, a true circle, and absolute measure. Friedrich Nietzsche
reality blood practice
Parasitism is the only practice of the church; with its ideal of anaemia, its holiness, draining all blood, all love, all hope for life; the beyond as the will to negate every reality; the cross as the mark of recognition for the most subterranean conspiracy that ever existed-against health, beauty, whatever has turned out well, courage, spirit, graciousness of the soul, against life itself. Friedrich Nietzsche
real struggle taken
From the State the exceptional individual cannot expect much. He is seldom benefited by being taken into its service; the only certain advantage it can give him is complete independence. Only real culture will prevent him being too early tired out or used up, and will spare him the exhausting struggle against culture-philistinism. Friedrich Nietzsche
real philosophy inspiration
[Philosophers] are not honest enough in their work, although they make a lot of virtuous noise when the problem of truthfulness is touched even remotely. They all pose as if they had discovered and reached their real opinions through the self-development of a cold, pure, divinely unconcerned dialectic...; while at bottom it is an assumption, a hunch, indeed a kind of "inspiration" most often a desire of the heart that has been filtered and made abstract that they defend with reasons they have sought after the fact. Friedrich Nietzsche
reality creation poet
The great poet draws his creations only from out of his own reality. Friedrich Nietzsche
real moving religion
Faith, indeed, has up to the present not been able to move real mountains, although I do not know who assumed that it could. But it can put mountains where there are none. Friedrich Nietzsche
real mind existence
The question between the materialists and me is not, whether things have a real existence out of the mind of this or that person, but whether they have an absolute existence, distinct from being perceived by God, and exterior to all minds. George Berkeley
real thinking views
The real essence, the internal qualities, and constitution of even the meanest object, is hid from our view; something there is inevery drop of water, every grain of sand, which it is beyond the power of human understanding to fathom or comprehend. But it is evidentthat we are influenced by false principles to that degree as to mistrust our senses, and think we know nothing of those things which we perfectly comprehend. George Berkeley
real ignorant argument
All that stock of arguments [the skeptics] produce to depreciate our faculties, and make mankind appear ignorant and low, are drawn principally from this head, to wit, that we are under an invincible blindness as to the true and real nature of things. George Berkeley
