As far as I'm concerned, the world is composed of stories. For architects, the world is composed of buildings, for actors the world is composed of theatres, or whatever... For me, the world is simply composed of stories, when I look, that's what I see.

Neil Gaiman

All I want is to preserve that wonderful something which so purely exists between us.

Alfred Stieglitz

I didn't have any doubts about my choice of career, but I had constant doubts about my ability, yes.

Suzanne Farrell

That which exists in nature is a something purely individual and particular. Art, on the contrary, is essentially destined to manifest the general.

August Wilhelm von Schlegel

Those who have expressed doubts and misgivings about their ability to live this kind of life shouldn't try, because being a musician is not something you chose to be, it is something you are.

Billy Joel

I want to create something that doesn't exist exactly in the real world, but exists in a kind of parallel to the real world.

Lorrie Moore

Illusion doesn't mean that something is not real. Illusion simply means that something is less real than something else. This life and this world certainly exist - who is to say the reality of the dream is not real?

Frederick Lenz

One has not only an ability to perceive the world but an ability to alter one's perception of it; more simply, one can change things by the manner in which one looks at them.

Tom Robbins

Phonogram was explicitly about our world. It’s a fantasy which is happening around us all, unnoticed except for those who’ve fallen into its world. In a real way, it’s real. Conversely, W+D is much more overt. The appearance of the gods changes the world, and has changed the world going back. There’s the strong implication that certain figures in our world simply didn’t exist in The Wicked And The Divine‘s world, because they were replaced by a god.

Kieron Gillen

The want of education and moral training is the only real barrier that exists between the different classes of men.

Susanna Moodie

The greatest barrier to achievement and success is not lack of talent or ability but rather the feeling that achievement and success, above a certain level, are outside our self-concept-our image of who we are and what is appropriate to us.

Nathaniel Branden

By reeducating the mind, you can accept fear as simply a fact of life rather than a barrier to success.

Susan Jeffers

If you hand an adult a lump of clay, they're likely to respond by fashioning something representative out of the raw material. For the most part, they'll simply forge an object that signifies something "real" in the world, even if that something is as abstract as an emotion or an energy. A child, on the other hand, will just as often produce something totally without semiotic meaning, a shape or a mass that represents nothing that exists outside of their imagination. Or else, they'll eat it or throw it or ignore it, wholesale.

Keith Murray

My parents created a world in which the only barrier to your success is your own imagination.

Shonda Rhimes

My images don't come close to real life. The world is remarkable, astounding and surprising that one does not need to exaggerate. What actually exists is simply insane.
