Guest guest Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 To study the self is to forget the self. To forget the self is to be enlightened by the ten thousand things. Dogen Zenji In the World of Reality there is no self, There is no other-than- self. Seng-ts'an Whenever there remains any support for the ego within, even if it be only an atom's weight, then you are pretentious and have a devil who leads you astray. Ibn Ata'Allah Reality doesn't bite, rather our perception of reality bites. Anthony D'Angelo The death of dogma is the birth of reality. Immanuel Kant Reality is nothing but a collective hunch. Lily Tomlin Reality is merely an illusion, although a very persistent one. Albert Einstein I like reality. It tastes of bread. Jean Anouilh Become a mystic. . . Help stamp out reality. Charles S. Milligan Reality is the leading cause of stress for those in touch with it. Jack Wagner Imagination is the one weapon in the war against reality. Jules de Gaultier As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain; and as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality. Albert Einstein By convention there is color, by convention sweetness, by convention bitterness, but in reality there are atoms and space. Democritus Someone's opinion of you does not have to become your reality. Les Brown The difference between fiction and reality? Fiction has to make sense. Tom Clancy REALITY, n. The dream of a mad philosopher. That which would remain in the cupel if one should assay a phantom. The nucleus of a vacuum. Ambrose Bierce Beware the writer who always encloses the word " reality " in quotation marks: He's trying to slip something over on you. Or into you. Edward Abbey I feel not unlike a small boy, waking from a bad dream to find reality not much of an improvement John Byrne It's my belief that sanity lies in realizing that reality is not exactly what we had in mind. Roy Blount Not thinking about anything is zen. Once you know this, walking, standing, sitting, or lying down, everything you do is zen. To know that the mind is empty is to see the buddha. . . . Using the mind to reality is delusion. Not using the mind to look for reality is awareness. Freeing oneself from words is liberation. Bodhidharma The purpose of life is a life of purpose. Robert Byrne All the best stories in the world are but one story in reality - the story of escape. It is the only thing which interests us all and at all times, how to escape. Arthur Christopher Benson The world holds two classes of men-intelligent men without religion, and religious men without intelligence. Abu-al-Ala-al-Ma'arri The universe rearranges itself to accommodate your picture of reality. No matter how thin you slice it, it's still baloney. ......bob " Wait a minute! Wait a minute!
