About This Quote

This quote is a French proverb which was originally attributed to Voltaire. The "no reality" in this quote is really a reference to the idea that there is no reality until an action has been taken, or a decision has been made. In this case, it is a reference to the basic principle of being realistic in life, which means being aware of what is possible and what isn't.
