Indeed, the annals of the famous and infamous are strewn with individuals who were both architects and victims of their life courses.

Albert Bandura

Most of the images of reality on which we base our actions are really based on vicarious experience.

Albert Hofmann

By observing natural scientific discoveries through a perception deepened by meditation, we can develop a new awareness of reality.

America Ferrera

I think the body image thing, everybody can identify with that. In our culture there's just so much pressure and so much attention placed on the way we look. You just turn on the TV or flip open a magazine and there's people who don't look like any of us. I think this movie is like, finally, a celebration of reality and of our imperfections. We're not all a size 2 and we're not all a size 0, and you know what? That's OK, because some of us like to eat!

Annie Besant

In a deep metaphysical sense, all that is conditioned is illusory. All phenomena are literally 'appearances,' the outer masks in which the One Reality shows itself forth in our changing universe.
