Oscar WildeLife at times loses its sense of reality; it appears to us like a weird, optical illusion - a phantasmagoric bubble that will disappear at the slightest breath.
About This Quote
You can see it and touch it, but at the same time you can’t - the illusion of life. That’s what we live, we live in a bubble, an illusion, there is no reality, only the appearance. No one knows what’s real and what isn’t - it all passes like a dream at the slightest breath. Life seems like an illusion to us; it’s like looking at a mirage.
The more we try to approach something, the further away it seems to be. The closer it is for some people, the further away it seems for others. The way we think about things is affected by much more than our eyesight.
Our perception depends on our hearts perception; our understanding of things depends on our imagination; everything depends on how much faith we have in ourselves.
