Ralph Hodgson Quotes

Some things need to be believed to be seen.

Some things just have to be believed to be seen.

You have to believe the magic to see it.

It's a funny thing: my name in Arabic means hope, so I suppose I have to live by that principle. Hope is desire, feeling, and investing in a projection of something that doesn't yet exist. At its best, you witness its alchemy in your life, turning something that was once in the mind into reality. At its worst, it's delusion.

It is impossible to see the angel unless you first have a notion of it.

If all you were left believing was what you were seeing, it'd be nothing but desperate. To have hope, you're going to have to imagine that there's something behind the curtain.

The world begins with what we believe.

Nothing is to wonderful to be true.

Reality is perspective. All you have to do is Believe.

How can you see something that isn't there?" yawned the Humbug, who wasn't fully awake yet. "Sometimes, it's much simpler than seeing things that are,"he said. "For instance, if something is there, you can only see it with your eyes open, but if it isn't there, you can see it just as well with your eyes closed. That's why imaginary things are often easier to see than real ones." "Then where is Reality?" barked Tock. "Right here,"cried Alec, waving his arms.

There are those who say that seeing is believing. I am telling you that believing is seeing.

It is your understanding that is going to change your reality.

What you have carried in your mind about the world is what you will see around the world. What you carry in your mind about your life is what you will see in your life.

Truth is inseperable from the illusory belief that from the figures of the unreal one day, in spite of all, real deliverance will come.

I guess maybe I'm idealistic.

It's not sometimes realistic to think that something magical can happen, but I think I look for the magic.

It is the heart which perceives God and not the reason. That is what faith is: God perceived by the heart, not by the reason.

I imagine that yes is the only living thing.

Our faith in the present dies out long before our faith in the future.

If you can act as if something is true, in a sense that makes it true.

We tend to get what we expect.

Perspective is not a science but a hope.

Hope is independent of the apparatus of logic.

I believed totally in the possibilities implied in the series. I never thought of it as fantasy. Far from it.

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