What is meant by 'reality'? It would seem something very erratic, very undependable-now to be found in a dusty road, now in a scrap of newspaper in the street, now in a daffodil in the sun. It lights up a group in a room and stamps some casual saying. It overwhelms one walking home beneath the stars and makes the silent world more real than the world of speech-and then there it is again in an omnibus in the uproar of Picadilly. Virginia Woolf
About This Quote

The reality of the world that we live in is something that is incredibly hard to pin down. It can be found in any of the places that are mentioned above, but it is also something that is constantly changing. The weather changes, people change, and so on. It is hard to pin down because it is often unpredictable and changing. The more you learn about the world around you, the more you will realize how little you really know about the world.
