Artists erase reality to a greater or lesser extent, and substitute their own reality - created by their brains, instead.

Semir Zeki

Acting is a child's game. It's your willingness to suspend one reality and substitute it for another. That reality lives and breathes in your imagination. The actors that I want to be like exercise that way of thinking, and that's kind of what I do.

Walton Goggins

Reject labels. Reject identities. Reject conformity. Reject convention. Reject definitions. Reject names.

Ming-Dao Deng

Stick with your own perception of yourself-living in your own world-and letting your reality, not the reality presented by other people or particular situations, control your performance.

John Eliot

If you are vigilant and make a stern effort to reject every thought when it rises, you will soon find that you are going deeper and deeper into your own inner self, where there is no need for your effort to reject the thoughts.

Ramana Maharshi

In man's life, the absence of an essential component usually leads to the adoption of a substitute. The substitute is usually embraced with vehemence and extremism, for we have to convince ourselves that what we took as second choice is the best there ever was. Thus blind faith is to a considerable extent a substitute for the lost faith in ourselves; insatiable desire a substitute for hope; accumulation a substitute for growth; fervent hustling a substitute for purposeful action; and pride a substitute for an unattainable self-respect.

Eric Hoffer

Research your own experience. Absorb what is useful, reject what is useless, and add what is specifically your own.

Dan Inosanto

Because of styles people are separated. Research your own experience, absorb what is useful, reject what is useless, add what is essentially your own.

Bruce Lee

The picture is the imitation and converted reality of the goods, in short, an indirect substitute for reality.

Herbert Bayer

Having authority implies accountability. If you reject the blame for failures under your watch, people reject your leadership.

Rick Warren

Don't take shadows too seriously. Reality is your only safety. Continue to reject illusion.

Wole Soyinka

The news automatically becomes the real world for the TV user and is not a substitute for reality, but is itself an immediate reality.

Marshall McLuhan

I want to be taken playfully, not seriously - not with a long British face, but with beautiful laughter. Your laughter, your playfulness is the recognition that you have understood me. Your seriousness shows that you have misunderstood me, you have missed it - because seriousness is nothing but sickness. It is another name of sadness; it is a shadow of death. And I am all for life. If it is needed for your laughter, your dance, even to reject me, then reject me - but don't reject the dance and the song and the life, because that is my teaching.

Rajneesh

Any work of art represents a series of conscious choices on the part of the artist - what color to paint, what note to play, what word to use - in that artist's attempt to share what is in his or her soul. The audience is free to accept or reject those choices; it is emphatically not free to substitute its own.

Leonard Pitts

You don't come to live here unless the delusion of a reality shaped around your own desires isn't a strong aspect of your personality. A reality shaped around your own desires - there is something sociopathic in that ambition.
