Quotations regarding 'Reality'
Art is man's constant effort to create for himself a different order of reality from that which is given to him.
Chinua Achebe, Nigerian Writer (1930- )
The Guide is definitive. Reality is frequently inaccurate.
Douglas Adams, English Writer (1952-2001)
Some photographers take reality... and impose the domination of their own thought and spirit. Others come before reality more tenderly and a photograph to them is an instrument of love and revelation.
Ansel Adams, American Photographer (1902-1984)
Sure, I suffered a lot. But it's not like the end of the world and it's not who I am. I lead quite a pleasant life and I'm able to divorce a perceived reality from my actual experience of life.
Ben Affleck, American Actor (1972- )
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.
Greg Akcelrod, French Actor (1982- )
Good writers define reality; bad ones merely restate it. A good writer turns fact into truth; a bad writer will, more often than not, accomplish the opposite.
Edward Albee, American Dramatist (1928- )
What people really want in the theater is fantasy involvement and not reality involvement.
Edward Albee, American Dramatist (1928- )
The paradox of reality is that no image is as compelling as the one which exists only in the mind's eye.
Shana Alexander, American Journalist (1925-2005)
I also wanted to express the strength of cinema to hide reality, while being entertaining. Cinema can fill in the empty spaces of your life and your loneliness.
Pedro Almodovar, Spanish Director (1949- )
Why do you have to translate and decode things? Just let the image be. It will have a special kind of reality that it won't once it's decoded.
Laurie Anderson, American Musician (1947- )
I talk about acting to students making the transition from high school to UCLA. Kids going into this profession really need to know the reality of it.
Loni Anderson, American Actress (1946- )
My greatest enemy is reality. I have fought it successfully for thirty years.
Margaret Anderson, American Editor (1886-1973)
Sometimes I read a script and it's obvious from early on that it's one where the suspension of disbelief has to develop strongly from page one. Some are more reality-based.
Gillian Anderson, Actress (1968- )
I think that reality TV is so bad. It is a tool by the media to not make people think.
Naveen Andrews, British Actor (1969- )
So don't think in reality I am a singer, I think I am a human being that has sung always all her life, and has learned a little to sing, and has found herself in the middle of a career.
Victoria de los Angeles, Spanish Musician (1923-2005)
In reality I have said very little things; I didn't point out many things to Geoffrey, I trusted very much not only his understanding of what I was doing, or what I wanted to do, in that moment.
Victoria de los Angeles, Spanish Musician (1923-2005)
I like reality. It tastes like bread.
Jean Anouilh, French Playwright (1910-1987)
I want to be like the patron saint of reality.
Fiona Apple, American Musician (1977- )
Distinctions drawn by the mind are not necessarily equivalent to distinctions in reality.
Thomas Aquinas, Italian Theologian
The Third World is not a reality but an ideology.
Hannah Arendt, German Historian (1906-1975)
