We have abolished the real world: what world is left? The apparent world perhaps? .. . But no! with the real world we have also abolished the apparent world.

Friedrich Nietzsche
About This Quote

One of the greatest misconceptions about life is that life is determined by the things you can see. The real world consists of all that is, not just what you can see. The apparent world may be the one that we are most familiar with at first, but it is just that: an apparent world. We perceive it through our senses, but there are many worlds around us that we cannot see with our eyes or hear with our ears.

These worlds are more real than the apparent world.
