About This Quote
I believe in looking reality straight in the eye and denying it. Denial of reality is a great way to ignore problems, but it does little to change them. When you deny reality, you are denying the truth of the situation. You are still at risk for encountering problems that may be beyond your ability to overcome them. Denial of reality is like believing that you can escape the consequences of your actions.
