To be realistic today is to be visionary. To be realistic is to be starry-eyed. (Wagner Jack)
Realism, whether it be socialist or not, falls short of reality. It shrinks it, attenuates it, falsifies it; it does not take into account our basic truths and our fundamental obsessions: love, death, astonishment. It presents man in a reduced and estranged perspective. Truth is in our dreams, in the imagination. (Wagner Jack)
The supreme reality of our time is the vulnerability of this planet. (Wagner Jack)
I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. That is why right, temporarily defeated, is stronger than evil triumphant. (Wagner Jack)
It has sometimes been said that we find nowhere in nature an analogue of the difference between happens and is, on the one hand, and ought, on the other hand. (Wagner Jack)
People see the world not as it is, but as they are. (Wagner Jack)
Take things as they are. Punch when you have to punch. Kick when you have to kick. (Wagner Jack)
Reality leaves a lot to the imagination. (Wagner Jack)
The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing. (Wagner Jack)
Your goals, minus your doubts, equal your reality. (Wagner Jack)
Reality is not protected or defended by laws, proclamations, ukases, cannons and armadas. Reality is that which is sprouting all the time out of death and disintegration. (Wagner Jack)
Reality is something you rise above. (Wagner Jack)
A theory must be tempered with reality. (Wagner Jack)
Reality is a prison, where one vegetates and always will. All the rest --thought, action --is just a pastime, mental or physical. What counts then, is to come to grips with reality. The rest can go. (Wagner Jack)
You too must not count too much on your reality as you feel it today, since like yesterday, it may prove an illusion for you tomorrow. (Wagner Jack)
Whatever is a reality today, whatever you touch and believe in and that seems real for you today, is going to be -- like the reality of yesterday -- an illusion tomorrow. (Wagner Jack)
There are occasions when it is undoubtedly better to incur loss than to make gain. (Wagner Jack)
I prefer the honest jargon of reality to the outright lies of books. (Wagner Jack)
Reality is a question of perspective; the further you get from the past, the more concrete and plausible it seems --but as you approach the present, it inevitably seems incredible. (Wagner Jack)
The realist is the man, who having weighed all the visible factors in a given situation and having found that the odds are against him, decides that fighting is useless. (Wagner Jack)
In nature, the emphasis is in what is rather than what ought to be. (Wagner Jack)
