Reality is the #1 cause of insanity among those who are in contact with it |
Reality is the best possible cure for dreams. |

Reality isn't the way you wish things to be, nor the way they appear to be, but the way they actually are. |

Reality only reveals itself when it is illuminated by a ray of poetry |

Someone once asked me whether I am an idealist or a dreamer. I'm neither. I consider myself an optimistic realist. I see reality, but I give it the benefit of the doubt. |
Sometimes reality has a way of sneaking up and biting us in the ass. And when the dam bursts, all you can do is swim. The world of pretend is a cage, not a cocoon. We can only lie to ourselves for so long. We are tired, we are scared, denying it doesn't change the truth. Sooner or later we have to put aside our denial and face the world. Head on, guns blazing. De Nile. It's not just a river in Egypt, it's a freakin' ocean. So how do you keep from drowning in it? |
The chief pang of most trials is not so much the actual suffering itself as our own spirit of resistance to it. |
The first step in the risk management process is to acknowledge the reality of risk. Denial is a common tactic that substitutes deliberate ignorance for thoughtful planning. |
