I've never understood the division between so-called realists and so-called idealists.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I am a mixture of idealist and realist.
I'm an idealist.
Too often people view idealists as naive.
True idealists are rare; they are the dedicated workers, who would, if need be, die at the stake.
When I was younger, I was somewhat of an idealist. I guess I'm a little bit more of a realist now. I think there's a lot that can be done to make the world a better place, but it's more about choosing your battles.
I think now I'm more realistic, but I'm still very much an idealist.
Idealism is the despot of thought, just as politics is the despot of will.
An idealist is a person who helps other people to be prosperous.
I'm an idealist without illusions.
What I've learned is that life is a balance between idealism and realism.
