(page 2)
You can close your eyes to reality but not to memories.
I never paint dreams or nightmares. I paint my own reality.
Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don't resist them — that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.
You're not supposed to be so blind with patriotism that you can't face reality. Wrong is wrong, no matter who says it.
The space within becomes the reality of the building.
A model is supposed to represent reality, and in reality, people come in all shapes, sizes, nationality, and colour.

Sometimes, fear is good. Sometimes it's a good thing to have a little bit of a reality check.
No one feels another's grief, no one understands another's joy. People imagine they can reach one another. In reality they only pass each other by.
Face reality as it is, not as it was or as you wish it to be.
A few years ago, the city council of Monza, Italy, barred pet owners from keeping goldfish in curved bowls... saying that it is cruel to keep a fish in a bowl with curved sides because, gazing out, the fish would have a distorted view of reality. But how do we know we have the true, undistorted picture of reality?
Decay is quiet but ghastly, explosion is dramatic and dreadful. There's not much to choose between the two of them in reality, and most of our lives have sufficient of both.
