Famous quotes containing the word realize:
“Ideas are not thoughts; the thought respects the boundaries that the idea ignores thereby failing to realize itself.”

“When you realize how hard it is to know the truth about yourself, you understand that even the most exhaustive and well-meaning autobiography, determined to tell the truth, represents, at best, a guess. There have been times in my life when I felt incredibly happy. Life was full. I seemed productive. Then I thought,”Am I really happy or am I merely masking a deep depression with frantic activity?” If I don’t know such basic things about myself, who does?”
—Phyllis Rose (b. 1942)
“You can’t be arbitrary about imposing your will when these people’s lives are at stake. Don’t you realize that? You speak as calmly as if you were saying “Pass the salt.” Aren’t you human? Are you made of ice?”
—Kurt Neumann (1906–1958)
