Quote by L.J. Smith

The image isn't reality. Even though we're used to thinking that way alot of the time. We show a kid a picture of a dog and say 'This is a doggie' - but it's not. It's just an image.

The image isn't reality. Even though we're used to thinking

Summary

This quote points out that images are not the true representation of reality. Often, we tend to confuse the two and assume that what we see in pictures is an accurate depiction of the subject. For example, showing a child a picture of a dog and labeling it as a "doggie" gives the false impression that the picture itself is a dog. It serves as a reminder that images can only capture a small fraction of reality and should not be mistaken for the real thing.

If we study the lives of great men and women carefully and unemotionally we find that, invariably, greatness was developed, tested and revealed through the darker periods of their lives. One of the largest tributaries of the RIVER OF GREATNESS is always the STREAM OF ADVERSITY.

In terms of the game theory, we might say the universe is so

In terms of the game theory, we might say the universe is so constituted as to maximize play. The best games are not those in which all goes smoothly and steadily toward a certain conclusion, but those in which the outcome is always in doubt. Similarly, the geometry of life is designed to keep us at the point of maximum tension between certainty and uncertainty, order and chaos. Every important call is a close one. We survive and evolve by the skin of our teeth. We really wouldn't want it any other way.
