For, after all, how do we know that two and two make four? Or that the force of gravity works? Or that the past is unchangeable? If both the past and the external world exist only in the mind, and if the mind itself is controllable – what then?
Acting is illusion, as much illusion as magic is, and not so much a matter of being real.
You mustn’t believe everything you see. The image of reality we perceive with our eyes is only an illusion, an optical effect. Light is a great liar.
You have to accept this reality as the madhouse walls bulge break and the terrified insane flood our ugly streets. You have to accept terrible reality.
You don’t question Providence. If you can’t have the reality, a dream is just as good.
You can design and create, and build the most wonderful place in the world. But it takes people to make the dream a reality.
Without art, the crudeness of reality would make the world unbearable.
When we look for things there is nothing but mind, and when we look for mind there is nothing but things.
When I disagree with a rational man, I let reality be our final arbiter; if I am right, he will learn; if I am wrong, I will; one of us will win, but both will profit.
What a horror it would have been if the world was real, because if the world was real, it would be immortal.
We are living in a computer-programmed reality, and the only clue we have to it is when some variable is changed, and some alteration in reality occurs. We have the overwhelming impression that we were reliving the present – deja vu.
We are beginning to see the influence of dream upon reality and reality upon dream.
