Pastoral Resources

Journalism constructs momentarily arrested equilibriums and gives disorder an implied order. That is already two steps from reality.

I believe that presidents up through and including George Bush have known that Americans were left alive and in violation of law, these high officials and certain of their appointed subordinates have continued and perpetrated a cover up of this reality.

The experiences associated with death were seen as visits to important dimensions of reality that deserved to be experienced, studied, and carefully mapped.

For those with ambition, reality is more of a creation than an unalterable certainty.

I enjoy watching Fear Factor, Newlyweds and American Idol as far as reality TV shows go.

With photography a new language has been created. Now for the first time it is possible to express reality by reality. We can look at an impression as long as we wish, we can delve into it and, so to speak, renew past experiences at will.

Perhaps September 11 could be called the first historic world event in the strictest sense: the impact, the explosion, the slow collapse - a gruesome reality literally took place in front of a global public.

War is the ultimate reality-based horror show.

We have to face the reality of climate change. It is arguably the biggest threat we are facing today.

Either you deal with what is the reality, or you can be sure that the reality is going to deal with you.

There's always going to be that pressure when you're in front of the camera. When you're famous it's just an extreme version of reality and there's a pressure to look a certain way.

I don't think you should meet the people you most admire. I don't want reality to interfere with my image.

I know the world is filled with troubles and many injustices. But reality is as beautiful as it is ugly. I think it is just as important to sing about beautiful mornings as it is to talk about slums. I just couldn't write anything without hope in it.

I find that when I play reality-based characters, it is only as fun for me if I have a lot of time to do research. If I don't it just isn't exciting but if I do, it can be fun because I can learn about that person and the world that they live in and I can become somebody else.

I think the reality is that, that money was probably badly spent.

Sometimes, fear is good. Sometimes it's a good thing to have a little bit of a reality check.

See, when I paint, it is an experience that, at its best, is transcending reality.

The main question raised by the thriller is not what kind of world we live in, or what reality is like, but what it has done to us.

The lawlessness of frontier life in America has been pictured as a remarkable phenomenon. In reality, it was the natural consequence of indiscriminate mixing of volatile substances.

A young and vital child knows no limit to his own will, and it is the only reality to him. It is not that he wants at the outset to fight other wills, but that they simply do not exist for him. Like the artist, he goes forth to the work of creation, gloriously alone.
