Underlying Reality

Famous quotes containing the words underlying and/or reality:

“Comedy deflates the sense precisely so that the underlying lubricity and malice may bubble to the surface.”
—Paul Goodman (1911–1972)

“Most lovers ... picture to themselves, in their mistresses, a secret reality, beyond and different from what they see every day. They are in love with somebody else—their own invention. And sometimes there is a secret reality; and sometimes reality and appearance are the same. The discovery, in either case, is likely to cause a shock.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
