Realists are, as a rule, only men in the rut of routine who are incapable of transcending a narrow circle of antiquated notions.

Faith does not, in the realist, spring from the miracle but the miracle from the faith.

I don’t need money, or, better, it’s not money that I need; it’s not even power; I need only what is obtained by power and simply cannot be obtained without power: the solitary and calm awareness of strength! That is the fullest definition of freedom, which the world so struggles over!

It seems, in fact, as though the second half of a man’s life is made up of nothing, but the habits he has accumulated during the first half.

Dreams seem to be spurred on not by reason but by desire, not by the head but by the heart, and yet what complicated tricks my reason has played sometimes in dreams.

Reality is what it is, not what you want it to be

Don’t be confused by my smile ‘Cause I ain’t ever been more for real

Let’s be realistic. Let’s do the impossible!

I know you are here to kill me. Shoot, coward, you are only going to kill a man.
It’s not my fault if reality is Marxist

Happiness is a gift and the trick is not to expect it, but to delight in it when it comes.

I said I never had a problem showing y’all the real me. Hair when it’s fed up, crib when it’s filthy.

Courage is not simply one of the virtues but the form of every virtue at the testing point, which means at the point of highest reality

Real life, in my opinion, is preferable to fiction.

Don’t get a movie confused with real life. I’m a well-rounded human being like everyone else.

Real life, my movie don’t come with actors.

Reality doesn’t impress me

Do a little more of what you want to do every day, until your idea becomes what’s real.

Real generosity towards the future lies in giving all to the present

I love a real-life, movie moment in living color.
