Language is double-edged; through words a fuller view of reality emerges, but words can also serve to fragment reality.

Vera John-Steiner

Reality changes words far more than words can ever change reality.

Mark Forsyth

Words and ideas are a description of reality, silence is a negation of reality. What is the reality itself?

John Daido Loori

Scientists often invent words to fill the holes in their understanding.These words are meant as conveniences until real understanding can be found. ... Words such as dimension and field and infinity ... are not descriptions of reality, yet we accept them as such because everyone is sure someone else knows what the words mean.

Scott Adams

It has been said that I have three heroes: Christ, Marx and Freud. This is reducing everything to formulae. In truth, my only hero is Reality. If I have chosen to be a filmmaker as well as a writer it is because, rather than expressing reality through those symbols that are words, I have preferred the cinema as a means of expression - to express reality through reality.

Pier Paolo Pasolini

... what is faked [by the computerization of image-making], of course, is not reality, but photographic reality, reality as seen by the camera lens. In other words, what computer graphics have (almost) achieved is not realism, but rather only photorealism - the ability to fake not our perceptual and bodily experience of reality but only its photographic image.

Lev Manovich

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

Chris Murray

Men substitute words for reality and then argue about the words.

Edwin Howard Armstrong

The reality we can put into words is never reality itself.

Werner Heisenberg

Words cannot be remote from reality when they create reality.

John Cowper Powys

Integrity is conforming reality to our words - in other words, keeping promises and fulfilling expectations.

Stephen Covey

Without precise meanings behind words, politicians and elites can obscure reality and condition people to reflexively associate certain words with positive or negative perceptions. In other words, unpleasant facts can be hidden behind purposely meaningless language.

Ron Paul

Words are delicate instruments: How to use them so that, after having read the poem, the taste remaining is not of the words themselves, but of a thought, a situation, a parallel reality? If not used appropriately, words in poetry are like the ugly remains of food after eating. What I mean is that readers will reject words if they don't serve to shift attention from themselves to somewhere else.

Luljeta Lleshanaku

When we mistake words for reality, we are subject to the tyranny of words.

Taitetsu Unno

The basic tool for the manipulation of reality is the manipulation of words. If you can control the meaning of words, you can control the people who must use the words.
