The dream has to be translated into reality.
The “punch” of a truly weird tale is simply some violation or transcending of fixed cosmic law — an imaginative escape from palling reality — hence phenomena rather than persons are the logical “heroes”.
Strange how paranoia can link up with reality now and then, briefly.
Should a paralytic wish to run, or an active man not wish to do so, both will remain where they are.[Qu’un paralytique veuille courir, qu’un homme agile ne le veuille pas, tous deux resteront en place.]
She sowed in my mind the idea that reality is not only what we see on the surface; it has a magical dimension as well and, if we so desire, it is legitimate to enhance it and color it to make our journey through life less trying.
Reality provides us with facts so romantic that imagination itself could add nothing to them.[La réalité fournit quelquefois des faits si romanesques que l’imagination elle-même ne pourrait rien y ajouter.]
Reality means you live until you die. The real truth is nobody wants reality.
Reality exists in the human mind, and nowhere else.
Reality even when it is sad is better than illusions. Illusions are at the mercy of any winds that blow. Real happiness must come from within, from a fixed purpose and faith in one’s fellow men.
Reality denied comes back to haunt.
Reading the morning newspaper is the realist’s morning prayer.
Only the dreamer shall understand realities, though, in truth, his dreaming must not be out of proportion to his waking!
