Anyone who doesn't believe in miracles is not a realist.

Summary

This quote suggests that believing in miracles is a characteristic of being a realist. It implies that a true realist acknowledges and embraces the existence of miracles, recognizing that extraordinary events or outcomes can occur beyond logical or scientific explanation. By considering miracles as possible, the quote suggests that one can have a broader perspective and an openness to the inexplicable wonders of the world, rather than relying solely on rational or empirical evidence. It challenges the notion that realism is solely based on concrete evidence and encourages a more expansive understanding of the world we live in.
