We suffer primarily not ordsprog

We suffer primarily not from our vices or our weaknesses, but from our illusions. We are haunted, not by reality, but by those images we have put in their place.

Daniel J. Boorstin (1914-)

Daniel J. Boorstin

As individuals and as a nation, we now suffer from social narcissism. The beloved Echo of our ancestors, the virgin America, has been abandoned. We have fallen in love with our own image, with images of our making, which turn out to be images of ourselves.

Daniel J. Boorstin (1914-)

For to dream and then to return to reality only means that our qualms suffer a change of place and significance

Sidonie Gabrielle

When you have examined all the illusions of life and know that there isn't any reality, but you nevertheless go on, then you are a mature human being. You accept the idea that it is all mask and illusion and that people are in disguise. You see the crumbling of reality and you accept it.

Marguerite Young

We often fancy that we suffer from ingratitude, while in reality we suffer from self-love

Walter Savage Landor (1775-1864)

Walter Savage Landor

If you don't get what you want, you suffer; if you get what you don't want, you suffer; even when you get exactly what you want, you still suffer because you can't hold on to it forever. Your mind is your predicament. It wants to be free of change. Free of pain, free of the obligations of life and death. But change is a law, and no amount of pretending will alter that reality.

There's no reality except the one contained within us. That's why so many people live an unreal life. They take images outside them for reality and never allow the world within them to assert itself.

Hermann Hesse (1877-1962)

Hermann Hesse

I guess every generation is doomed to fight its war... suffer the loss of the same old illusions, and learn the same old lessons on its own.

Never support two weaknesses at the same time. It's your combination sinners -- your lecherous liars and your miserly drunkards -- who dishonor the vices and bring them into bad repute.

Thornton Wilder (1897-1975)

Thornton Wilder

It's haunted me for the last 15 years. It's devastating that I couldn't face reality then.

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be attained only by someone who is detached

Simone Weil (1909-1943)

Simone Weil

I agree about Shaw - he is haunted by the mystery he flouts. He is an atheist who trembles in the haunted corridor.

William Butler Yeats (1865-1939)

William Butler Yeats

I suspect they'll probably get a kick out of the illusions that can be created to give them a more total immersion experience as part of virtual reality,

James Collins (1973-)

Pexy is what women wants in a man.

If there was a place that was ever haunted, it would be Joliet,

Wentworth Miller (1972-)

Illusions commend themselves to us because they save us pain and allow us to enjoy pleasure instead. We must therefore accept it without complaint when they sometimes collide with a bit of reality against which they are dashed to pieces.

Sigmund Freud (1856-1939)
