“Realita? Aku meragukan realitaku sendiri. Yang mana realitas itu sebenarnya? Mungkin bagiku mimpi dan fiksi itulah realita sejati, sedang hidup yang kata mereka kujalani hanyalah mimpi, cerpen bahkan novel yang belum selesai.”

“Realitas
Meminjam lidah dari percakapan orang-orang di jalan;
Betapa kulihat subur uban tumbuh di kepala nenekku.
Kalong dan kampret beterbangan mencuri buah dari atas meja
Di televisi bertebaran berita; orang di gelandang ke dalam bui karena korupsi.
Ada yang sedang berubah dari dunia ini;
Tak ada lagi kulihat orang mandi di kali
Sudah lama kita kehilangan musala tempat mengaji.
Orang-orang tenggelam di sawah
Terpacak ke dalam lumpur kering
Tegalan menjelma jadi hamparan batu.
Kerbau dan kambing kehilangan kandang.
Hutan dan padang rumput
di babat habis.
Aku duduk mencangkung di serambi dengan adikku, menunggu Bapak pulang membawa kenduri dari hajatan penganten tetangga kampung sebelah.
Ia datang bersama heran.
Sedang di jalan bersliweran kuda-kuda pacu yang tak satu pun peduli.
Truk-truk mengangkut gunung dan perbukitan mengepulkan asap.
Saat emas dan perak pelan-pelan menghilang,
maka kerikil dan bebatuan jadi barang berharga.
Aku sempat bertanya kepada Ibu, "Benarkah kita telah kehilangan suara adzan?"
Bukan yang bertelur dari nyaring corong pengeras suara,
Melainkan yang menetas langsung dari dalam hati para ibu.
Dulu waktu kecil, aku senang sekali menyimak lagu tentang 'sajadah panjang'
yang konon tercipta dari sebuah puisi.
Tapi mengapa kini,
tak ada lagi orang berdiskusi di atas gelaran tikar?
Tak ada kulihat tenda terpasang yang sengaja didirikan untuk memberi makan pengemis yang kelaparan.
Tak ada anak-anak berlarian di lapangan.
Betapa banyak permainan seperti gasing dan gundu yang raib bersama berlalunya waktu?
Lebih aneh lagi, mengapa lapak-lapak di pasar jadi sepi kehilangan pembeli?
Mal-mal tumbuh seperti jamur di musim penghujan
Tapi kemudian mendadak senyap seperti kota mati.
Murid-murid di sekolah tumbuh menjadi dewasa tanpa pernah mengerti bagaimana sesungguhnya uang bekerja.
Padahal seribu tahun mereka tenggelam dalam layar yang penuh informasi itu.
Lahir 'ceprot' dengan hape dalam genggaman.
Surga bukan lagi tempat di mana kita membayangkan bidadari.
Orang banyak berdebat tentang agama
Tanpa tahu di mana sesungguhnya Tuhan berada.
Langit semburat jingga, mengapa kini terlihat biasa-biasa saja?
Dan seterusnya
Dan seterusnya...
Sampai kutemukan ternyata ke mana perginya orang-orang itu
Konon katanya mereka terbang di bawa UFO
ke sebuah planet yang berwarna biru.
Dan demikianlah,
kebohongan hadir sebagai realitas sehari-hari.
Bukan untuk dipertanyakan
Bukan untuk dibantah.

“Realities disguised as symbols are, for me, new realities that are immeasurably preferable. I make an effort to take them at their word. To grasp, to carry out the diktat of images to the letter.”
“Reality (i.e., the truth) is that there is a God in heaven. Reality is that He made us and we are accountable to Him. Reality is that this God has spoken and what He says matters--eternally. Reality is that without His salvation, we are doomed to eternal torment. Reality is that God's Son, Jesus Christ, has died for the sins of the world, that He has risen again, and that whoever believes on Him is given eternal life.”
“Reality - Dreams = Animal Being Reality + Dreams = A Heart-Ache (usually called Idealism) Reality + Humor = Realism (also called Conservatism) Dreams - Humor = Fanaticism Dreams + Humor = Fantasy Reality + Dreams + Humor = Wisdom”

“Reality - the way that is, exactly as it is, in every moment - is always kind. It's our story about reality that blurs our vision, obscures what's true, and leads us to believe that there is injustice in the world. I sometimes say that you move totally away from reality when you believe that there is a legitimate reason to suffer.”

Each remains somewhat distinguishable and yet they swirl and join, affecting and manipulating the other. One cannot perceive where reality ends and fantasy begins, but life would grow stagnant and die without the influence of both.”

“Reality and fantasy, we need both of those to survive. If we don't have fantasy, dreams and all of those things, what's the point of carrying on? And you need to watch out for reality because buses come.”
“Reality and Fiction are different in that fiction has to make sense.”
“Reality and fiction are really mixed up. The frontier between reality and fiction is tremendously porous and slippery. And in fact, when I remember something that has happened to me a long time ago, let's say twenty years ago, many times I'm not sure if I have actually lived what I am recalling, or I have dreamed about it, or I have written about it, or I have imagined it all.”

Just one true reality and the rest was imagination and was not real. But under the influence of LSD, I entered into realities which were as real and even more real than the one of everyday. And I thought about the nature of reality and I got some deeper insights.”
“Reality begins to emerge only when we set aside our tendency to think in clean categories and realize that almost all things exist on a continuum. Along that continuum, answers change depending on time and context. An answer that’s closer to right today could be closer to wrong tomorrow.”

“Reality came with a bite, a pinch, a kiss. Longing, loss, resentment, and the most impossible of all, passion. Passion was real. It wasn't an obsession with the thing you couldn't get better at, like my dad had coldly told me long ago. It was the only thing you could get better at.
Without passion, there could be no growth.”

“Reality cannot be photographed or represented. We can only create a new reality. And my dilemma is how to make art out of a reality that most of us would rather ignore. How do you make art when the world is in such a state? My answer has been to make mistakes, but when I can, to choose them. We are all guilt victims choosing mistakes, and as Godard said, the very definition of the human condition is in the mise-en-scéne itself.”
