The trouble with you, Charles, is that basically you despise women, whereas I, in spite of some appearances to the contrary, do not."

"I don't despise women. I was in love with all Shakespeare's heroines before I was twelve."

"But they don't exist, dear man, that's the point. They live in the never-never land of art, all tricked out in Shakespeare's wit and wisdom, and mock us from there, filling us with false hopes and empty dreams. The real thing is spite and lies and arguments about money. ~ Iris Murdoch
Reality Vs Expectations quotes by Iris Murdoch
Every so often, over the next day or so, she would find herself in a gray, daydreamy mood, missing something, and she'd realize that it was Robert she missed, not the real Robert but the Robert she'd imagined on the other end of all those text messages during break. ~ Kristen Roupenian
Reality Vs Expectations quotes by Kristen Roupenian
I couldn't understand; cheating was the one thing I'd told her all those years ago would be unforgivable. She knew, she said, but that was part of what had been confusing her, that I would even have told her that, as if she weren't an actual human being with the freedom to act, but some character in a scenario in my head. There was a quality I had of making the people closest to me feel lonely, somehow. Some essential cold withholding at the core of myself. ~ Garth Risk Hallberg
Reality Vs Expectations quotes by Garth Risk Hallberg
Fiction is the best kind of reality ~ Isabel Bandeira
Reality Vs Expectations quotes by Isabel Bandeira
At times we'll want to escape our
polluted reality...
not augment it with digital
Debris ~ Clyde DeSouza
Reality Vs Expectations quotes by Clyde DeSouza
An educated man believing in a this-that vile sky-god rewarding him-her, but punishing your enemies with hell and fire, is uneducated. ~ Fakeer Ishavardas
Reality Vs Expectations quotes by Fakeer Ishavardas
Inhumanity is part of humanity as much as suffering is a part of stories. Cruelty is written in the human script. ~ Johnny Rich
Reality Vs Expectations quotes by Johnny Rich
Positivist man is a curious creature who dwells in the tiny island of light composed of what he finds scientifically "meaningful," while the whole surrounding area in which ordinary men live from day to day and have their dealings with other men is consigned to the outer darkness of the "meaningless." Positivism has simply accepted the fractured being of modern man and erected a philosophy to intensify it.
Existentialism, whether successfully or not, has attempted instead to gather all the elements of human reality into a total picture of man. Positivist man and Existentialist man are no doubt offspring of the same parent epoch, but, somewhat as Cain and Abel were, the brothers are divided unalterably by temperament and the initial choice they make of their own being. ~ William Barrett
Reality Vs Expectations quotes by William Barrett
The either/or vs. the both/and views of objective reality & truth determine God to either exist in confinement or free to be who He is, I Am That I Am. ~ R. Alan Woods
Reality Vs Expectations quotes by R. Alan Woods
26. Above all other reality there exists one supreme Being: God, the omnipotent Creator of all things, the all-wise and just Judge of all men. This supreme reality, God, is the absolute condemnation of the impudent falsehoods of communism. In truth, it is not because men believe in God that He exists; rather because He exists do all men whose eyes are not deliberately closed to the truth believe in Him and pray to Him. ~ Pope Pius XI
Reality Vs Expectations quotes by Pope Pius XI
For what, after all, is the difference between a memory and a fantasy? Are not both a succession of imprecisely rendered images further obscured by imprecisely chosen words and animated only by the wistful effort of one's imagination? And who is to say that a vividly imagined moment of happiness is not, in the end, more enriching to the spirit than a hazy semi-recollection of some pallid pastime? ~ Olga Grushin
Reality Vs Expectations quotes by Olga Grushin
Simply put, DHARMA is Dhya (Aim) mein (unto) raman (walkabout) - Sojourn Unto the [Ultimate] Aim [the Truth of What Is- God]. ~ Fakeer Ishavardas
Reality Vs Expectations quotes by Fakeer Ishavardas
Good writing is good writing. In many ways, it's the audience and their expectations that define a genre. A reader of literary fiction expects the writing to illuminate the human condition, some aspect of our world and our role in it. A reader of genre fiction likes that, too, as long as it doesn't get in the way of the story. ~ Rosemary Clement-Moore
Reality Vs Expectations quotes by Rosemary Clement-Moore
It was a dark and clouded night, but the tracks led to the lake like a broad path. Sylvie walked in front of me. We stepped on every other tie, although that made our stride uncomfortably long, because stepping on every tie made it uncomfortably short. But it was easy enough. I followed after Sylvie with slow, long, dancer's steps, and above us the stars, dim as dust in their Babylonian multitudes, pulled through the dark along the whorls of an enormous vortex
for that is what it is, I have seen it in pictures
were invisible, and the moon was long down. I could barely see Sylvie. I could barely see where I put my feet. Perhaps it was only the certainty that she was in front of me, and that I need only put my foot directly before me, that made me think I saw anything at all. ~ Marilynne Robinson
Reality Vs Expectations quotes by Marilynne Robinson
Practice Hesitating Less

Look for small ways to practice hesitating a little less than you usually would. Over time, this will help increase your psychological flexibility: You'll get better at choosing when you want to let a decision marinate vs. when you want to make a decision swiftly, take action, and move on. You'll start to learn from experience that you can move out of thinking mode more quickly without disastrous consequences. For example, if you tend to put off buying things that, in reality, would be a good investment, give yourself some criteria for making quicker decisions. You might commit to making decisions about purchases that are under $50 in less than 48 hours. Choose the level that suits your situation and preferences. ~ Alice Boyes
Reality Vs Expectations quotes by Alice Boyes
He had come abroad to enjoy the Flemish painters and all others; but what fair-tressed saint of Van Eyck or Memling was so interesting a figure as Madame de Mauves? ~ Henry James
Reality Vs Expectations quotes by Henry James
Nobody wants to be a part of your story. Everybody wants you to elaborate on their fantasies. ~ Michael Bassey Johnson
Reality Vs Expectations quotes by Michael Bassey Johnson
It was 5:45pm when I decided my future. By 9:43 I was well on my way to making it all come true. At 11:16 I took the first step to make it a reality. At 11:17 I fell and found peace. ~ Brynn Myers
Reality Vs Expectations quotes by Brynn Myers
Fiction writers, magicians, politicians and priests are the only people rewarded for entertaining us with their lies ~ Bangambiki Habyarimana
Reality Vs Expectations quotes by Bangambiki Habyarimana
We pretend to be a middle class, democratic nation, but in reality we love our blue bloods ... We love the prep school manners, the aristocratic calm, the Skull and Bones mystery, the dappled lawns stretching before New England summer homes. How else can you explain the Bush vs. Kerry match-up that confronts us this year ~ David Brooks
Reality Vs Expectations quotes by David Brooks
Theories look great on paper until reality scribbles all over the page. ~ Richelle E. Goodrich
Reality Vs Expectations quotes by Richelle E. Goodrich
Oh, this yearning to be white, this yearning to have straight hair, this lifelong striving to be different from the way one is created this great difficulty in accepting oneself, I knew it and saw only my own longing from outside, saw the absurdity of our yearning to be different from what we are ... ~ Max Frisch
Reality Vs Expectations quotes by Max Frisch
Job understood that he was nothing more than God's invention and so too was his suffering ~ Johnny Rich
Reality Vs Expectations quotes by Johnny Rich
Science is great for us. But for someone who see the human evaluation for more than one million years, science is a just a one instant and younger than a baby. ~ Muditha Champika
Reality Vs Expectations quotes by Muditha Champika
I think in fiction he searches for the life he wishes he had. ~ Courtney M. Privett
Reality Vs Expectations quotes by Courtney M. Privett
Prose vs. Poetry
To a writer of prose
a flower is a flower.

To a poet a flower can be
the origami of God's eye
enfolding the cosmos;
it is the luminous
well of imagination
bursting into pattern;
it is the coalescence
of infinite possibility
into palpable reality;
it is a confetti forest
for dancing bumble bees;
it is the flirtatious blush
ofradial symmetry;
it is the heartache of love
manifest in a rose.

For a true poet
A FLOWER IS NOT A FLOWER. ~ Beryl Dov
Reality Vs Expectations quotes by Beryl Dov
There are two rules for success...
1. Never reveal everything you know. ~ Ylond Miles-Davis
Reality Vs Expectations quotes by Ylond Miles-Davis
But life isn't neat the way a story is. And if you try to pretend it is, then you just make yourself unhappy, or screw yourself over. ~ Dexter Palmer
Reality Vs Expectations quotes by Dexter Palmer
I often find human behavior amusing. Like having a full refrigerator of food to eat yet buying fast food instead. If you learn to conquer the two big "N" words. Niceties vs Necessities. You might actually have some funds for the hard times that come. ~ Stanley Victor Paskavich
Reality Vs Expectations quotes by Stanley Victor Paskavich
Non-fiction is to theory as fiction is to experience. ~ Joyce Rachelle
Reality Vs Expectations quotes by Joyce Rachelle
When he thought he was doing something that made a difference to people, he could bear any burden [Moses]. When he lost that sense of achievement, he became too discouraged to keep on doing the hard things. ~ Harold S. Kushner
Reality Vs Expectations quotes by Harold S. Kushner
I have a tendency to break rules and shake things up. I would say that with me people never know what is real and what is fiction. And I like that because reality is relative. ~ Nuno Roque
Reality Vs Expectations quotes by Nuno Roque
I shall tell you about God once you've reached your imaginary heaven. Then, give me a call. ~ Fakeer Ishavardas
Reality Vs Expectations quotes by Fakeer Ishavardas
Truth is an ideal we aspire to. Fact is an agreement on the general consensus of what truth is. Honesty is a personal truth shared. ~ Stewart Stafford
Reality Vs Expectations quotes by Stewart Stafford
Our most cultural state is one of total certainty - which is the reason those of us who are most certain are those who are most out of touch with nature (i.e., reality). ~ Anthony Marais
