Real
(page 6)
As I read more and more — and it was not all verse, by any means — my love for the real life of words increased until I knew that I must live with them and in them, always. I knew, in fact, that I must be a writer of words, and nothing else.
The unreal is more powerful than the real, because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it, because it's only intangible ideas, concepts, beliefs, fantasies that last. Stone crumbles, wood rots. People, well, they die. But things as fragile as a thought, a dream, a legend, they can go on and on.
All real education is the architecture of the soul.
I have frequently gained my first real insight into the character of parents by studying their children.
Real generosity is doing something nice for someone who will never find out.
For me, a good thriller must teach me something about the real world. Thrillers like 'Coma', 'The Hunt for Red October' and 'The Firm' all captivated me by providing glimpses into realms about which I knew very little — medical science, submarine technology and the law.
Nothing can bring a real sense of security into the home except true love.
A real man loves his wife, and places his family as the most important thing in life. Nothing has brought me more peace and content in life than simply being a good husband and father.
Fake friends believe in rumors. Real friends believe in you.
If you want to stand with me as a single mom — and I know so many of my friends and colleagues do — please don't appropriate my burden as a way to validate your own. To suggest that you are single-parenting when you are simply solo for the weekend devalues what real single mothers do.
It is health that is real wealth and not pieces of gold and silver.
It's funny; it's a real balancing act. In TV, everybody's talking about authenticity. In order to make 'Dirty Jobs' authentic, I really can't be overly informed. The minute I am, I become a host... It's a very tricky business paying a tribute to work, because TV is very bad at it.
For me, real life is hard work. Making movies is like a vacation for my soul.
Talking about dreams is like talking about movies, since the cinema uses the language of dreams; years can pass in a second, and you can hop from one place to another. It's a language made of image. And in the real cinema, every object and every light means something, as in a dream.
If you're not trying to be real, you don't have to get it right. That's art.
The real ornament of woman is her character, her purity.
Money was never a big motivation for me, except as a way to keep score. The real excitement is playing the game.
Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance.
The making of friends who are real friends, is the best token we have of a man's success in life.
A failure is not always a mistake, it may simply be the best one can do under the circumstances. The real mistake is to stop trying.
