• There is a popular superstition that "realism" asserts itself in the cataloguing of a great number of material objects, in explaining mechanical processes, the methods of operating manufactories and trades, and in minutely and unsparingly describing physical sensations. But is not realism, more than it is anything else, an attitude of mind on the part of the writer toward his material, a vague indication of the sympathy and candour with which he accepts, rather than chooses, his theme?

  Willa Cather

  Attitude, Numbers, Mind

  Willa Cather (1988). “Not Under Forty”, p.45, U of Nebraska Press

• I don't want realism. I'll tell you what I want. Magic! Yes, yes, magic! I try to give that to people. I misrepresent things to them. I don't tell the truth. I tell what ought to be truth. And if that is sinful, then let me be damned for it!

  Tennessee Williams

• Well, I really want to encourage a kind of fantasy, a kind of magic. I love the term magic realism, whoever invented it – I do actually like it because it says certain things. It's about expanding how you see the world. I think we live in an age where we're just hammered, hammered to think this is what the world is. Television's saying, everything's saying 'That's the world.' And it's not the world. The world is a million possible things.

• Fui bastante realista con la gente sobre lo que podíamos hacer y la situación en la que nos encontrábamos, e intenté moderar las expectativas. Si escuchas mis discursos, si escuchas lo que dije en Grant Park, no dejaba de decir: "Mirad, esto no es solo cosa mía, esto no va a ocurrir en un año, ni en una legislatura, ni siquiera en una presidencia". Y tratamos de incluir en todo lo que decíamos un sentido de esperanza, pero también de realismo.

• And the true realism, always and everywhere, is that of the poets: to find out where joy resides, and give it a voice far beyond singing. For to miss the joy is to miss all.

• Este hombre, que durante veinticinco años ha estado leyendo y escribiendo sobre arte, y en todo ese tiempo nunca ha entendido nada sobre arte, durante veinticinco años ha estado dándole vueltas a las ideas de otras personas sobre realismo, naturalismo y todas esas tonterías; durante veinticinco años ha estado leyendo y escribiendo sobre lo que la gente inteligente ya sabe y sobre lo que la gente estúpida no quiere saber, lo que significa que durante veinticinco años no ha cogido nada y no ha hecho nada con ello. Y con todo ello, ¡qué engreimiento! ¡Qué pretensión!

  Antón Chéjov

• If we think we have ours and don't owe any time or money or effort to help those left behind, then we are a part of the problem rather than the solution to the fraying social fabric that threatens all Americans and the very dream that is America.

• The past exists only in our memories, the future only in our plans. The present is our only reality. The tree that you are aware of intellectually, because of that small time lag, is always in the past and therefore is always unreal. Any intellectually conceived object is always in the past and therefore unreal. Reality is always the moment of vision before the intellectualization takes place. There is no other reality.

• Cuanto más se conocen los cuentos de hadas, menos fantásticos parecen; pueden ser vehículos del más crudo realismo, expresando esperanza contra viento y marea con los dientes apretados.

• Science seems to be at war with itself.... Naive realism leads to physics, and physics, if true, shows naive realism to be false. Therefore naive realism, if true, is false; therefore it is false.

• Depression, when it's clinical, is not a metaphor. It runs in families, and it's known to respond to medication and to counseling. However truly you believe there's a sickness to existence that can never be cured, if you're depressed you will sooner or later surrender and say: I just don't want to feel bad anymore. The shift from depressive realism to tragic realism, from being immobilized by darkness to being sustained by it, thus strangely seems to require believing in the possibility of a cure.

  Jonathan Franzen

• Realism should only be the means of expression of religious genius... or, at the other extreme, the artistic expressions of monkeys which are quite satisfied with mere imitation. In fact, art is never realistic though sometimes it is tempted to be. To be really realistic a description would have to be endless.

• En su sentido más fundamental, la ejecución es una forma sistemática de exponer la realidad y actuar en consecuencia. La mayoría de las empresas no se enfrentan muy bien a la realidad. ... El realismo es el corazón de la ejecución, pero muchas organizaciones están llenas de personas que intentan evitar o ensombrecer la realidad. ¿Por qué? Porque hace la vida incómoda.
