Bruce Lipton Quotes

It depends on which reality you take and which reality I take.” (p. 318).

Everybody experiences reality in a way that's only true for them.

There are many realities. There are many versions of what may appear obvious. Whatever appears as the unshakeable truth, its exact opposite may also be true in another context. After all, one's reality is but perception, viewed through various prisms of context.

Each person does see the world in a different way. There is not a single, unifying, objective truth. We're all limited by our perspective.

My view is my view. Your view is your view.

Reality is negotiable.

After all, across the population there are slight differences in brain function, and sometimes these translate directly into different ways of experiencing the world. And each individual believes his way is reality.

I am prepared to accept from others their own version of reality. I think it is a basic freedom really, to create one's own reality from whatever truths are available.

People make their own reality. That was what Praxis had taught him years ago. A hundred people can witness the exact same event, and give two hundred and three different accountings of it.

We both know that, my friend, but a man's perception soon becomes his reality.

You see, if you make believe hard enough that something is true, then it is true for you.

What we experience is our own concept of things. That is why no two people see quite the same world, and why, in many cases, different people see such different worlds. To put it another way, we make our own world by the way in which we think; for we really do live in a world of our own thoughts.

Reality is myself, reality is only the perception of this instant and it can't be related to another person.

Truth, after all, wears a different face to everybody, and it would be too tedious to wait till all were agreed. She is said to lie at the bottom of a well, for the very reason, perhaps, that whoever looks down in search of her sees his own image at the bottom, and is persuaded not only that he has seen the goddess, but that she is far better looking than he had imagined.

There may always be another reality to make fiction of the truth we think we've arrived at.

The dream of life is really an illusion, and everybody lives in the reality he or she creates - a virtual reality that is only true for the one who creates it.

Now, none of this is to say that the truth isn’t important. The truth obviously exists. It’s at the core—or the search for the truth—is at the core of some of our greatest human achievements. It can animate and inspire us to do, learn and create great things. But I think in our messy human hearts, we also know that the truth is something of a fickle mistress and that the beauty of the truth is often in the struggle. It’s the reason that we have so many sublime chronicles of the human experience, because we have so many different truths to be explored…. For many of us, truth is what we make when we merge facts about the world with our beliefs about the world. Each of us has our own truth and it’s probably a good one.

Perception is reality.

I'm less interested in reality. I'm more interested in perception, the truth of the universe that we see.

You will not ever perceive the truth that is reality. There are many realities.

Facts are generally overesteemed. For most practical purposes, a thing is what men think it is. When they judged the earth flat, it was flat. As long as men thought slavery tolerable, tolerable it was. We live down here among shadows, shadows among shadows.

What we're showing may not be your reality, but it's ours.

What is my truth can not be your truth.

Perception is one millionth of one percent reality (truth in fact).

You can tell a true war story by the questions you ask. Somebody tells a story, let's say, and afterward you ask, 'Is it true?' and if the answer matters, you've got your answer . . . Absolute occurrence is irrelevant. A thing may happen and be a total lie; another thing may not happen and be truer than the truth.
