Socrates

Religion is an illusion and it derives its strength from the fact that it falls in with our instinctual desires.

Quotes by Sigmund Freud

Not knowing whom to fall in love with is like not knowing which film to make next. Life is pretty chaotic; it's just an illusion that one has control over one's life.

Quotes by Shekhar Kapur

Quotes by Rudolf Steiner

Time is an illusion anyway. You can create as much time as you want.

Quotes by Roy Choi

Quotes by Robert Herjavec

Clinton impressed Assad: a young man who appeared to want to be neutral in the Arab-Israeli dispute - an illusion of course, but that's what Assad thought.

Quotes by Pierre Bayle

It is hard to go back into a world that has already been explored, so to speak. And the fans are very passionate about it, and you don't want to burst that bubble; you don't want to break that illusion. You want to get it right. You want it to feel familiar, but also surprising.

Quotes by Philippa Boyens

Quotes by Philip Treacy

Painting is an illusion, a piece of magic, so what you see is not what you see.

Quotes by Paul Schrader

Quotes by Paul Park

We go on dates thinking that person is our future husband or wife, without getting to know them, as we live in a fantasy and an illusion of romance.

Quotes by Patti Stanger

No two notes are ever the same volume. With the guitar, you really have to model in your mind this wider thing; you're trying to create the illusion of a bigger dynamic range.

Quotes by Pat Metheny

For a found-footage-style movie, there's a definite advantage in using unknowns, because it helps sell the illusion that it's real. A known actor would get in the way of the suspension of disbelief.

Quotes by Oren Peli

If we choose, we can live in a world of comforting illusion.

Quotes by Noam Chomsky

Quotes by Nicole Krauss

Quotes by Neil Kurshan

In any city with lots of skyscrapers, lots of skyline, the moon seems bigger than it is. It's called the moon illusion.

Quotes by Neil deGrasse Tyson

Quotes by Murray Rothbard

We're living under the illusion that we have the power to determine what to do with it.

Quotes by Mordecai Wyatt Johnson

Quotes by Michael Flanders

There is the illusion of the world and the reality of the Torah.

Quotes by Meir Kahane

What is called a sincere work is one that is endowed with enough strength to give reality to an illusion.

Quotes by Max Jacob

Now, I know it's a widespread assumption in the West that as countries modernize, they also westernize. This is an illusion. It's an assumption that modernity is a product simply of competition, markets and technology. It is not. It is also shaped equally by history and culture. China is not like the West, and it will not become like the West.

Quotes by Martin Jacques

Since it is impossible to know what's really happening, we Peruvians lie, invent, dream and take refuge in illusion. Because of these strange circumstances, Peruvian life, a life in which so few actually do read, has become literary.

Quotes by Mario Vargas Llosa

What will growth policy have to look like in a fiscally compacted Europe? Clearly any illusion of budget stimulated growth policy will have to go away.

Quotes by Mario Monti

Quotes by Mandy Ingber

I had to learn how to dress and create an optical illusion where you're more slender.

Quotes by Lydia Hearst

Because of the way I am built I photograph taller than I actually am; it's an optical illusion. The way you're naturally built is not something you can fake - you either photograph taller or you don't.

Quotes by Lydia Hearst

Perhaps scientists will eventually discover that we are all clockwork bunnies, and our experience of volition is an electro-chemical illusion.

Quotes by Lionel Shriver

Quotes by Kathryn Bigelow

I like graceful and elegant partnering that gives an illusion of ease instead of emphasizing difficulty. I don't want to make something 'contemporary' or 'trendy,' because ballet doesn't progress on one track: it can branch out in many directions, and as Balanchine showed, there's always room for pure classicism and more subtle alterations of it.

Quotes by Justin Peck

A change in external circumstances without inner renewal is a materialist's illusion, as though man were only a product of his social circumstance and nothing else.

Quotes by Jon Krakauer

Anything I've done up till May 27th 1999 was kind of an illusion, existing without living. My daughter, the birth of my daughter, gave me life.

Quotes by Johnny Depp

Quotes by John Young

John Steinbeck

As in The Lime Twig dream and illusion are right at the center of Charivari.

Quotes by John C. Hawkes

Quotes by Jeremy Podeswa
