real book writing
The author: an imaginary person who writes real books.
children real men
The love of a man for his wife, his child, of the land where he lives and works, is for me the real meaning of mystical experience.
reality appearance damn
Appearance versus reality? Appearance is reality, God damn it!
reality mets knows
I must confess that I know nothing whatsoever about true underlying reality, never having met any.
real blood sweat
I don't see how poetry can ever be easy... Real poetry, the thick, dense, intense, complicated stuff that lives and endures, requires blood sweat; blood and sweat are essential elements in poetry as well as behind it.
reality trying quotation-marks
Beware the writer who always encloses the word *reality* in quotation marks: He's trying to slip something over on you. Or into you.
real earth cows
The earth is real. Only a fool, milking his cow, denies the cow's reality.
dream real fall
Men come and go, cities rise and fall, whole civilizations appear and disappear-the earth remains, slightly modified. The earth remains, and the heartbreaking beauty where there are no hearts to break....I sometimes choose to think, no doubt perversely, that man is a dream, thought an illusion, and only rock is real. Rock and sun.
teamwork real stupid
One man alone can be pretty dumb sometimes, but for real bona fide stupidity, there ain't nothin' can beat teamwork.
real want purpose
If it's knowledge and wisdom you want, then seek out the company of those who do real work for an honest purpose.
kings years realization
Anarchism is not a romantic fable but the hardheaded realization, based on five thousand years of experience, that we cannot entrust the management of our lives to kings, priests, politicians, generals, and county commissioners.
horse real warrior
The real work of men was hunting meat. The invention of agriculture was a giant step in the wrong direction, leading to serfdom, cities, and empire. From a race of hunters, artists, warriors, and tamers of horses, we degraded ourselves to what we are now: clerks, functionaries, laborers, entertainers, processors of information.
peace real war
The tragedy of modern war is that the young men die fighting each other - instead of their real enemies back home in the capitals.
real america earth
Paradise is the here and now, the actual, tangible, dogmatically real Earth on which we stand. Yes, God bless America, the Earth upon which we stand.
