John Daly Quotes

Perception is not always reality.

Truth is always a delusion.

Belief and seeing: They are both often wrong.

I understand the difference between perception and reality.

We read the world wrong and say that it deceives us.

Truth, like light, blinds. Falsehood, on the contrary, is a beautiful twilight that enhances every object.

Seeing is not always believing.

The world we live in is vastly different from the world we think we live in.

It seems important to find ways of reminding ourselves that most 'familiarity' is meditated and delusive.

Sometimes what we see, what's going on in front of us, isn't really what's happening.

Did you ever think that maybe what you see isn't really what's true?

You see, there's the way things seemed and then there's the way things were and one is so often the total reverse of the other.

People think that they see, but they don't.

Inside each of us resides the truth, I began, the absolute truth. But sometimes the truth is hidden in a hall of mirrors. Sometimes we believe we are viewing the real thing, when in fact we are viewing a facsimile, a distortion.

Whatever happens in the world is real, what one thinks should have happened is projection. We suffer more from our fictitious illusion and expectations of reality.

When we believe in lies, we cannot see the truth, so we make thousands of assumptions and we take them as truth. One of the biggest assumptions we make is that the lies we believe are the truth!

There is nothing more deceptive than an obvious fact.

I realize that nothing's as it seems.

The world is seldom what it seems; to man, who dimly sees, realities appear as dreams, and dreams realities.

Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.

Like all dreamers, I mistook disenchantment for truth.

A lie to me is a dream that might come true.

The focus of subjectivity is a distorting mirror.

There is an inevitable divergence between the world as it is and the world as men perceive it.

I always divide people into two groups. Those who live by what they know to be a lie, and those who live by what they believe, falsely, to be the truth.
