Reality is a sound, you have to tune in to it not just keep yelling.

Anne Carson
About This Quote

When I am in reality, I feel that when you are in reality, you have to tune into it not just keep yelling about it. If you do not reflect on what’s happening around you, then you will not be able to achieve anything. Likewise, if you do not know the truth about yourself, then how can you ever find the right path towards your goal? All of this is about knowing yourself and how to live in reality.
