Quotes about real
real mean independent
I know, that trends and all of those things and formulae that calculate what audiences want to see and what audiences don't want to see and various other demographic demarcations are the eccentric and ludicrous prerogative of Hollywood studios. But out there in the real world - by which I mean the rest of the world where we make truthful organic films, independent films unimpeded by interference - it's not about all those sort of calculating what is commercial. It's about wanting to say things and saying them in a way that will get through to people. Mike Leigh
real character thinking
When I was young I used to sit in the cinema thinking wouldn't it be great if you could have a film in which the characters were like real people instead of being like actors. Mike Leigh

Real strength is being able to carry on when times are hard, Miep Gies
real character people
We referenced fictional characters as if they were people to learn from. As if real-life people were too nebulous, too private and unreal for us to understand. Miguel Syjuco

real eye discovery
Le veritable voyage de decouverte ne consiste pas a chercher de nouveaux paysages, mais a avoir de nouveaux yeux. (The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes.) Marcel Proust
reality needs easy
Any mental activity is easy if it need not take reality into account. Marcel Proust
reality men support
The soldier is convinced that a certain indefinitely extendable time period is accorded him before he is killed, the burglar before he is caught, men in general, before they must die. That is the amulet which preserves individuals — and sometimes populations — not from danger, but from the fear of danger, in reality from the belief in danger, which in some cases allows them to brave it without being brave. Such a confidence, just as unfounded, supports the lover who counts on a reconciliation, a letter. Marcel Proust
real people different
People can have many different kinds of pleasure. The real one is that for which they will forsake the others. Marcel Proust
real order one-day
...that melancholy which we feel when we cease to obey orders which, from one day to another, keep the future hidden, and realise that we have at last begun to live in real earnest, as a grown-up person, the life, the only life that any of us has at his disposal. Marcel Proust
reality progress firsts
Reality is never more than a first step towards an unknown on the road to which one can never progress very far. Marcel Proust
reality nurse littles
We are all of us obliged, if we are to make reality endurable, to nurse a few little follies in ourselves. Marcel Proust
reality indulge-in folly
Nous sommes tous oblige s, pour rendre la re alite supportable, d'entretenir en nous quelques petites folies. We must all indulge in a few follies if we are to make reality bearable. Marcel Proust
real character joy
... But all the feelings that evoke in us the joy or the misfortune of a real person are only produced in us through the intermediary of an image of that joy or that misfortune; the ingeniousness of the first novelist was in understanding that, in the apparatus of our emotions, since the image is the only essential element, the simplification which consists of purely and simply suppressing the factual characters is a definitive improvement. Marcel Proust
real reality stations
Under each station of the real, another glimmers. Marcel Proust
reality roles forgotten
Certain favourite roles are played by us so often before the public and rehearsed so carefully when we are alone that we find it easier to refer to their fictitious testimony than to that of a reality which we have almost entirely forgotten. Marcel Proust
reality dust magic
Existence is of little interest save on days when the dust of realities is mingled with magic sand. Marcel Proust
real book heart
To understand a profound thought is to have, at the moment one understands it, a profound thought oneself; and this demands some effort, a genuine descent to the heart of oneself . . . Only desire and love give us the strength to make this effort. The only books that we truly absorb are those we read with real appetite, after having worked hard to get them, so great had been our need of them. Marcel Proust
reality mind easy
All the mind's activity is easy if it is not subjected to reality. Marcel Proust
reality attachment old-things
When a belief vanishes, there survives it -- more and more vigorously so as to cloak the absence of the power, now lost to us, of imparting reality to new things -- a fetishistic attachment to the old things which it did once animate, as if it was in them and not in ourselves that the divine spark resided, and as if our present incredulity had a contingent cause -- the death of the gods. Marcel Proust
reality two fantasy
If we are to make reality endurable, we must all nourish a fantasy or two. Marcel Proust

real party eye
Nothing that is not a real crime makes a man appear so contemptible and little in the eyes of the world as inconsistency, especially when it regards religion or party. In either of these cases, though a man perhaps does but his duty in changing his side, he not only makes himself hated by those he left, but is seldom heartily esteemed by those he comes over to. Joseph Addison
real men honor
Honor's a fine imaginary notion, that draws in raw and unexperienced men to real mischiefs. Joseph Addison
real people transition
The preoccupation with transition and with surgery objectifies trans people, and we don't get to really deal with the real lived experiences. Laverne Cox

We have these images, these icons before us that are not reality. Lauryn Hill
