A real book is not one that we read, but one that reads us.
Pro wrestling is not fake; it’s sports entertainment. We go out there and we perform, and a lot of what we do out there is real, but we’re not going to insult anyone’s intelligence – there is a predetermined winner. It’s just the fans don’t know who it is, and that’s what makes it so intriguing.
My movie is born first in my head, dies on paper; is resuscitated by the living persons and real objects I use, which are killed on film but, placed in a certain order and projected on to a screen, come to life again like flowers in water.

The truth is I love being alive. And I love feeling free. So if I can’t have those things then I feel like a caged animal and I’d rather not be in a cage. I’d rather be dead. And it’s real simple. And I think it’s not that uncommon.

All life demands struggle. Those who have everything given to them become lazy, selfish, and insensitive to the real values of life. The very striving and hard work that we so constantly try to avoid is the major building block in the person we are today.
You grow up the day you have the first real laugh at yourself.
Our party must continue to strike fear in the heart of the white man, our real enemy!
I’m a real extrovert, but when I’m round someone new, I’m super shy.

The ode lives upon the ideal, the epic upon the grandiose, the drama upon the real.
Money, while clearly helpful in solving myriad problems, can often conceal a business’s real flaws. It can also risk rigidifying a company’s business model at the very moment it should be in ‘customer discovery’ mode or iterating around market opportunities.
Because people don’t understand what computing is about, they think they have it in the iPhone, and that illusion is as bad as the illusion that ‘Guitar Hero’ is the same as a real guitar.
Sometimes the truth hurts. And sometimes it feels real good.
Football has been my life and Real Madrid my home and together we have lived unique moments.
Youth is impulsive. When our young men grow angry at some real or imaginary wrong, and disfigure their faces with black paint, it denotes that their hearts are black, and that they are often cruel and relentless, and our old men and old women are unable to restrain them. Thus it has ever been.
