None of this has ever been or will ever be; all is an appearance, all is an illusion. Illusions are truth. All illusions are real. We say illusion, meaning that they're shadows.

Frederick Lenz

Frederick Lenz

Frederick Lenz

The only cure for loss of illusions is fresh illusions, more illusions, and always illusions.

William John Locke

The camera does not know what it takes; it captures materials with which you reconstruct, not so much what you saw as what you thought you saw.

Thomas Merton

Frederick Lenz

Our moral reasoning is plagued by two illusions. The first illusion can be called the wag-the-dog illusion: We believe that our own moral judgment (the dog) is driven by our own moral reasoning (the tail). The second illusion can be called the wag-theother-dog's-tail illusion: In a moral argument, we expect the successful rebuttal of an opponent's arguments to change the opponent's mind. Such a belief is like thinking that forcing a dog's tail to wag by moving it with your hand will make the dog happy.

Sam Harris

Life is a process of losing our illusions, until we finally lose the illusion that we're alive.

What the human eye sees is an illusion of what is real. The black and white image transforms illusions into another reality.

Ruth Bernhard

Nirvana is a word that means enlightenment, being beyond the illusion of birth and death, the illusion of pain, the illusion of love, the illusion of time and life.

Frederick Lenz
