Quote

The acceptance of certain realities doesn't preclude idealism. It can lead to certain breakthroughs.

We know the ideal isn't where the action is.

What I've learned is that life is a balance between idealism and realism.

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

There is no absolute point of view from which real and ideal can be finally separated and labelled.

I reject your reality and substitute my own.

Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.

Idealism is fine, but as it approaches reality, the costs become prohibitive.

I do not conceive of any reality at all as without genuine unity.
