A Quote by Paul Celan

Reality is not simply there, it does not simply exist: it must be sought out and won. — © Paul Celan
Reality is not simply there, it does not simply exist: it must be sought out and won.
Subject matter must be normal in the sense that it does not appear sought after so much as simply happening to one.
Digital technology, you see, is not the villain here. It simply offers another dimension. I'm not sure if it's a farther remove from reality than analogue. I think if we can speak of reality, if reality and representation can be spoken of in the same sentence, if reality even exists any more, digital is simply another way of encoding that reality.
If, as is believed by many Canadians, Canada can not exist without Quebec, then it simply does not deserve to exist.
The photograph as an objective representation of reality simply does not exist. The photograph does not explain to you what is going on to the left or to the right or above or below the frame. Oftentimes, it doesn't even explain to you what is going on inside the frame.
Concentration of the mind is in a way common to both Knowledge and Yoga. Yoga aims at union of the individual with the universal, the Reality. This Reality cannot be new. It must exist even now, and it does exist.
Zen is not a philosophy, it is poetry. It does not propose, it simply persuades. It does not argue, it simply sings its own song.
Photography does deal with 'truth' or a kind of superficial reality better than any of the other arts, but it never questions the nature of reality - it simply reproduces reality. And what good is that when the things of real value in life are invisible?
Without the Eucharist, the Church simply does not exist.
If something must be true for us, as humans, to exist, than it is true simply because we exist.
Reality is not simply there, it must be searched and won.
The church does not simply have a missions department; it should wholly exist to be a mission.
...a magical CO2 knob for controlling weather and climate simply does not exist!
Literature adds to reality, it does not simply describe it.
There's another way to phrase that and that is that the absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence. It is basically saying the same thing in a different way. Simply because you do not have evidence that something does exist does not mean that you have evidence that it doesn't exist.
We, who have so much, must do more to help those in need. And most of all, we must live simply, so that others may simply live.
Ours is a society that has falsely assumed that contribution must mean giving to some specific cause rather than simply giving our best selves. Thus, too many people don't recognize the fact that simply being who they are is contributing significantly to the world. What if simply living your truth, being your best, and fully expressing your strengths, talents, and abilities at whatever you do were sufficient to contribute to the world? I say it is, and we must not overlook the fact that being our best ultimately inspires others and can and does indeed make an impact.
