Reality

In philosophy, reality is the state of things as they actually exist, rather than as they may appear or might be imagined. In a wider definition, reality includes everything that is and has been, whether or not it is observable or comprehensible. A still more broad definition includes everything that has existed, exists, or will exist.

Famous quotes containing the word reality:

    “The writer, like a swimmer caught by an undertow, is borne in an unexpected direction. He is carried to a subject which has awaited him—a subject sometimes no part of his conscious plan. Reality, the reality of sensation, has accumulated where it was least sought. To write is to be captured—captured by some experience to which one may have given hardly a thought.”
    —Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)

    “There is a moment when nothing can be wiped out and left behind any more, when there is only reality—and reality is horrifying.”
    —Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)

    “The word “Christianity” is already a misunderstanding—in reality there has been only one Christian, and he died on the Cross.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
