Paul Watson Quotes

Perception is reality.

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.

I am not struck so much by the diversity of testimony as by the many-sidedness of truth.

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

Truth can be stated in a thousand different ways, yet each one can be true.

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

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

All of us create our own versions of an event, of our lives, even, not because we're liars, necessarily, but because we can only see and understand the truth from our own viewpoint, and a shifting viewpoint at that.

What is reality, anyway? Just a collective hunch.

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

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

Reality: What a concept!

The truth is whatever people will believe is the truth.

Expectations are a form of first-class truth: If people believe it, it's true.

Truth is, in fact, an elusive concept. It depends almost entirely on where you are standing at the time. It is a human instinct to confuse belief with truth.

Perception and reality are two different things.

There is always a divergence between our perception and what actually exists.

There is no way you can use the word “reality” without quotation marks around it.

Reality is irrelevant; Perception is everything.

It is only that my illusion is more real to me than reality. And so do we often build our world on an error, and cry out that the universe is falling to pieces, if any one but lift a finger to replace the error by truth.

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.

Maybe I don't believe things myself, as well. Truth is such a transient thing.

Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.

There are many levels of truth.

What I want to show in my work is the idea which hides itself behind so-called reality.
