A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
现实
Reality
If the arts are held up solely as a means of social insight, fantasy is denied the chance to be commonplace and reality the chance to be exotic.
如果把艺术仅仅作为一种社会洞察力的手段，幻想就被剥夺了成为普通事物的机会，而现实则被剥夺了成为异国情调的机会。
I write to understand my circumstances, to sort out the confusion of reality, to exorcise my demons. But most of all, I write because I love it!
我写作是为了了解我的处境，理清现实的困惑，驱除内心的恶魔。但最重要的是，我写作是因为我爱它!

语言只能有意义地处理现实中一个特殊的、受限制的部分。剩下的，大概是更大的部分，是沉默。
No one feels another's grief, no one understands another's joy. People imagine they can reach one another. In reality they only pass each other by.

All the best stories are but one story in reality - the story of escape. It is the only thing which interests us all and at all times, how to escape.

Values unrelated to modern reality are not just electorally hopeless, the values themselves become devalued. They have no purchase on the real world.

沿着这个主题，再读几句。
The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are. You trade in your reality for a role. You give up your ability to feel, and in exchange, put on a mask.

Celebrity culture, it's everywhere, isn't it? It's reality TV, Big Brother. I didn't become a footballer to be famous, I became a footballer to be successful. I didn't want to be famous. Now people want to be famous. Why? Why would you want people following you about all day?

There is no reality except the one contained within us. That is why so many people live such an unreal life. They take the images outside them for reality and never allow the world within to assert itself.

Fantasy is hardly an escape from reality. It's a way of understanding it.
