Free will is the sensation of making a choice. The sensation is real, but the choice seems illusory. Laws of physics determine the future.
My hair used to be real long, and my parents were encouraged when I cut it. They thought I was going 'straight,' but I was just getting weirder - at least in their eyes. I was getting into the punk thing.
Mum says that, since I was a tiny baby, I've had the most strong-willed and stubborn personality known to man. Although that was a real pain for her, she admired my resolve.
To have a songwriter that wrote so specifically what I felt to be true... I've never been much of an actor either. If something is real for me, then I can do it.
Do you want to know what you are? You are a creator. At every moment you are creating. The real question is, what are you creating?
Ya sólo me siento real cuando te escribo o cuando miro tus dibujos. Cuando te cuento, cuando me cuentas. Sólo estoy aquí. Sólo soy yo contigo.
Trust God when it doesn't make sense. Trust Him when it looks impossible. That is real faith. When we are faithless, God is forever faithful.
No; we have been as usual asking the wrong question. It does not matter a hoot what the mockingbird on the chimney is singing. The real and proper question is: Why is it beautiful?

All these Lil' rappers, I'm just kind of getting real irritated by it. I said, 'You know what? Drop the Lil'. Forget it. I'm Bow Wow.
Sometimes after a compliment about my characterization skills, I'm asked if I model my characters on real people. Emphatically, no. And sort of, yes.
Once you've recognized your own limits, you've raised yourself to a higher level of being, since you're closer to the real you...
I started out with comedy in college, but had my major in Recreation Administration - which meant I wasn't going to get a real job - so I started doing a little standup.
Does celebrity interest anyone? It's definitely not appealing to me. I think anyone who's had any real exposure to it would probably regret ever having even entertained the idea.
I'd come back after having served as ambassador to New Zealand and found that I had real concerns about the direction in which this country was headed.
The real middle class India that has always been looking for a voice that is its very own. I write about it because I belong to it.
What I like about fairy tales is that they highlight the emotions within a story. The situations aren't real, with falling stars and pirates. But what you do relate to is the emotions that the characters feel.
