We live in a fantasy world, a world of illusion. The great task in life is to find reality.

A world that is not a real world is a world that does not exist.

The world is what it is; men who are nothing, who allow themselves to become nothing, have no place in it.

The cradle rocks above an abyss, and common sense tells us that our dreams are not as real as our waking state.

I think that one should recognize reality even when one doesn't like it; indeed, especially when one doesn't like it.
