A provincial who finds himself somewhere between a physical reality and a metaphysical one…“ — Federico Fellini Tags:Reality Related quotes „Like everything metaphysical the harmony between thought and reality is to be found in the grammar of the language.“ — Ludwig Wittgenstein „No one in art has yet penetrated as far [as Dostoyevsky into the mystical realms of the soul, towards the metaphysical, the subconsciousness, viewing the external reality of the world as merely a sign, a symbol of the spiritual and metaphysical.“ — Edvard Munch „Art is not merely an imitation of the reality of nature, but in truth a metaphysical supplement to the reality of nature, placed alongside thereof for its conquest.“ — Friedrich Nietzsche „The artist makes art not to save mankind but to save himself. Every benevolent comment by an artist is a fog to cover his tracks, the bloody trail of his assault against reality and others.“ — Camille Paglia „The metaphysical apologia at least betrayed the injustice of the established order through the incongruence of concept and reality. The impartiality of scientific language deprived what was powerless of the strength to make itself heard and merely provided the existing order with a neutral sign for itself. Such neutrality is more metaphysical than metaphysics.“ — Theodor W. Adorno „Fiction is based on reality unless you're a fairy-tale artist, you have to get your knowledge of life from somewhere. You have to know the material you're writing about before you alter it.“ — Hunter S. Thompson
