People live with the illusion that we have a democratic system, but it's only the outward form of one. In reality we live in a plutocracy, a government of the rich.
The use of travelling is to regulate imagination by reality, and instead of thinking how things may be, to see them as they are.
Mostly, what I watch are reality shows and documentaries.
Traditionally, sport has looked down at number crunchers, but the reality is that they give sport the financial sustenance it needs.
Of all our dreams today there is none more important - or so hard to realise - than that of peace in the world. May we never lose our faith in it or our resolve to do everything that can be done to convert it one day into reality.
When a man is at his wits' end it is not a cowardly thing to pray, it is the only way he can get in touch with Reality.
I like to deal in the reality of life. I'm too old to sing about women and things like that.
I do believe that belief is the most powerful thing we have in this world. So, if we believe in something enough. And we have faith, we can make it a reality. That is basically the basis of my entire career and my entire life.

It's a mature thing to understand that your pictures of a lifetime together with someone were... well, the reality is not what we're taught.
I would absolutely recommend against excessive positivity and optimism. Any positive emotion that you're infusing into a workplace needs to be grounded in reality. If it's not realistic, sincere, meaningful, and individualized, it won't do much good.
Social media is incredible: it creates a community that I'm really proud to be a part of, but it also creates illusions and a false reality, and it's difficult to grow up with that.
And then, I suppose, there's also a cinematic reality on top of that. Because it was extremely difficult to keep tabs on, it was quite confusing acting that.
In reality, the past is preserved by itself automatically.
People think that dreams are better than reality but this is not always the case; sometimes, because you dream too much, you are unable to see what you have in front of your very eyes.
I never want to lose touch with reality. I won't push $100 candles just because. I realized that I could create a hub of positivity and affirmation.
The Rockwell magazine cover was more a part of the American reality than a record of it.
I am just like 99% of my friends in France, who say on their resume they can speak fluent English. In reality, they can't even count up to three.
There are some people who live in a dream world, and there are some who face reality; and then there are those who turn one into the other.
I'm able to separate fiction and reality. I guess it remains to be seen if other people are.

This is the reality of nuclear weapons: they may trigger a world war; a war which, unlike previous ones, destroys all of civilization.
I've grown up with girls that are like Precious. I've grown up with people that are like everyone that I read about in that book. And so years later, when I was given the role, I just felt a huge responsibility to show the reality of that situation and to show that we're not making it up.
Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be attained only by someone who is detached.
I don't like the negative of reality tv - the 'you're no good, so you have to leave, I choose you, but I thought you really loved me.' It's all about how bad people are and I just hate that. I like Pimp my Ride where someone is helping somebody.
To me, a fairy tale seems to have become reality.
The more I think on the present condition of woman, the more am I oppressed with the reality of their degradation.
There exists, if I am not mistaken, an entire world which is the totality of mathematical truths, to which we have access only with our mind, just as a world of physical reality exists, the one like the other independent of ourselves, both of divine creation.
In fiction, you are not limited by real facts. You can manipulate reality; you can invent without being disloyal to the essence of history.
You live these three months in this reality, in this dark reality. You don't want to do those films every year because they're taxing. I started smoking a lot of cigarettes.

I don't think movies or television have any basis in reality at all. It's all just pretend. That's what's fun about it.
That's what I love about my faith and Christianity. It's the polar opposite of darn near everything I experienced in the wrestling business. I still love the business, and I'm thankful for everything that it's provided, but the idea that it deals in the truth is the furthest thing from reality.
The architecture for 'Paladin' - given that it's at least three books, with the possibility of more - turned out to be bigger than anything I've ever created, with multiple levels of reality, interlocking mysteries and a terabyte of time frame.
