Erwin Schrodinger Quotes

Reality is mind-made.

There may not be one Truth - there may be several truths - but saying that is not to say that reality doesn't exist.

Truth is an illusory notion.

You say they create their own reality," said Veronika, "but what is reality?

To be is to be perceived

There are many levels of truth.

Because our entire universe is made up of consciousness, we never really experience the universe directly we just experience our consciousness of the universe, our perception of it, so right, our only universe is perception.

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

I respond well to what I read of Immanuel Kant's idea that the world as we see it is absolutely a function of the way our brain works. In the modern parlance, it's an evolved machine that we carry with us.

The world is real. Consciousness is the illusion.

In the perception of a tree we can distinguish the act of experiencing, or perceiving, from the thing experienced, or perceived.

Common sense says that chairs and tables exist independently of whether anyone happens to perceive them or not.

Life is but thought.

I dream, therefore I exist.

I don't believe there's any such thing as objective reality. It's only reality as we experience it.

Reality is how we interpret it. Imagination and volition play a part in that interpretation. Which means that all reality is to some extent a fiction.

There is no absolute point of view from which real and ideal can be finally separated and labelled.

What you believe you experience.

The material universe exists only in the mind.

I believe that nothing can be more abstract, more unreal, than what we actually see. We know that all we can see of the objective world, as human beings, never really exists as we see and understand it. Matter exists, of course, but has no intrinsic meaning of its own, such as the meanings that we attach to it. We can know only that a cup is a cup, that a tree is a tree.

Metaphysical world.- It is true, there could be a metaphysical world; the absolute possibility of it is hardly to be disputed. We behold all things through the human head and cannot cut off this head; while the question nonetheless remains what of the world would still be there if one had cut it off.

The physical universe that you see is all in your mind. When you turn your mind off, or become unconscious, the physical universe, for you, disappears. Then, when you awaken your consciousness, the universe reappears magically. Quite simple really - no thoughts on your part, no physical world. As Walt Whitman succinctly stated: "The whole theory of the universe is directed unerringly to one single individual - namely to You." Without your mind to process it, the universe simply disappears into nothingness.
