We're in a kind of vicious cycle where the media tell the politicians, and the politicians tell the people, that perception is reality, and the perception of saving dooms a politician. I don't believe perception is reality, or that all Americans think that.

Amity Shlaes

The phrase 'perception is reality' is overused generally. But perception can be reality in monetary policy. The bond market doesn't act merely on what it sees. It acts on what it expects of the Fed or the government.

Amity Shlaes

Government frequently has a problem recognizing perception versus reality.

Bill Owens

Perception is NOT reality. People have always said that - perception is reality. I reject that hypothesis.

Jim Harbaugh

Perception is everything and that becomes the reality. It's a big problem for Hillary Clinton.

Carly Fiorina

You can't tell me what we're doing right now is not working. The perception is, well, it's not. I don't deal in perception. I want to deal in reality. The reality of the matter is that the percentage of guys who are taking has gone way down.

Tom Glavine

Everything is perception. A hallucination is a perception of a certain reality. It is a perception of a certain state of mind.

Frederick Lenz

I've always talked to players about perception and reality. I don't worry about perception. There may be some of that, that people want to attach to a good name, but the reality is that some good things can happen.

Tony Dungy

There's been a gap between perception and reality, the perception being that California is on the cutting edge of gun safety legislation when, in fact, there are a number of areas where we have fallen behind.

Gavin Newsom

I don't really understand what the public perception of me is. I think public perception and reality are two wholly different things.

Tamara Mellon

Reality is myself, reality is only the perception of this instant and it can't be related to another person.

Gao Xingjian

Mark my words. Perception is reality and how someone perceives you is their reality.

Chris Murray

Reality doesn't bite, rather our perception of reality bites.

Anthony J. D'Angelo

The idea that the universe itself is physically structured around hierarchy was sort of an integration of earlier science and theology that was made by people like Thomas Aquinas, that was assumed doctrinally in that tradition. The Reformation rejected that model of reality and created a highly individualistic metaphysics in the sense that it located everything normative that can be said about reality in human perception, there being, of course, no other avenue of knowing. There is Scripture, there is conscience, there is perception itself.

Marilynne Robinson

Perception without the word, which is without thought, is one of the strangest phenomena. Then the perception is much more acute, not only with the brain, but also with all the senses. Such perception is not the fragmentary perception of the intellect nor the affair of the emotions. It can be called a total perception, and it is part of meditation.

Jiddu Krishnamurti

Reality is ultimately a selective act of perception and interpretation. A shift in our perception and interpretation enables us to break old habits and awaken new possibilities for balance, healing, and transformation.
