Everything is becoming science fiction. From the margins of an almost invisible literature has sprung the intact reality of the 20th century.

Traditional science assumes for the most part that an objective observer independent reality exists the universe stars galaxies sun moon and earth would still be there if no one was looking.

There's a hardening of the culture. Reality TV has lowered the standards of entertainment. You're left wondering about the legitimacy of relationships. It's probably harder to entertain the same people with a more classic form of writing and romantic comedies are a classic genre.

The thing you can't let go of is gravity. The reality of gravity in writing. If someone says something really mean in a sitcom and the next wave isn't a reaction to the reality of that you start losing relatability. In a lot of romantic comedies they throw out the rules of life.

Well we all start thinking we're going to be Romantic rock stars but then reality hits and you realize no one reads you but other poets.

I've often dreamed about going back to Nigeria but that's a very romantic notion. It's a hideous country to go to in reality.

I don't think I'll ever escape the fact that I don't belong anywhere in particular. I've often dreamed about going back to Nigeria but that's a very romantic notion. It's a hideous country to go to in reality.

I'd like to classify my life as a romantic comedy. Unfortunately I feel it's probably more like a TV reality show.

The idea of a soulmate is beautiful and very romantic to talk about it in a movie or a song but in reality I find it scary.

People ask me all the time 'Are you fed up with reality TV?' At the end of the day it can affect my career in the sense that the more reality shows there are the less scripted dramas out there but I can't ever really knock them. I started on 'Popstars ' which was a reality talent show. I have respect for them.

I respect newspapers but the reality is that magazine 'photojournalism' is finished. They want illustrations Photoshopped pictures of movie stars.

I've learned how to look at things and not judge them but respect them and use it in a way that people understand that I respect them show them love and respect their reality.

Not only did I come out as a reality star that was very boisterous and vivacious and outspoken and all those things. I flipped that into money and respect. And a lot of people can't do that.

I respect the state workers and I respect their unions but we simply can't afford to pay benefits and pensions that are out of line with economic reality.

I submit that an individual who breaks the law that conscience tells him is unjust and willingly accepts the penalty by staying in jail to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice is in reality expressing the very highest respect for law.

One who breaks an unjust law that conscience tells him is unjust and who willingly accepts the penalty of imprisonment in order to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice is in reality expressing the highest respect for law.

Religion is the call to confront reality to master the self.

I love the idea of the teachings of Jesus Christ and the beautiful stories about it which I loved in Sunday school and I collected all the little stickers and put them in my book. But the reality is that organised religion doesn't seem to work. It turns people into hateful lemmings and it's not really compassionate.

In Christianity neither morality nor religion come into contact with reality at any point.

Our relationship to reality and to our experience is all based upon the ideas in our mind that we're always trying to live up to.

If you are strong enough as a couple reality shows can be a good thing for the relationship.

Then there is the further question of what is the relationship of thinking to reality. As careful attention shows thought itself is in an actual process of movement.

My relationship to reality has been so utterly skewed for so long that I don't even notice it any more. It's just my reality.
