“Lots of people like rainbows. Children make wishes on them, artists paint them, dreamers chase them, but the Aquarian is ahead of everybody. He lives on one. What's more, he's taken it apart and examined it, piece by piece, color by color, and he still believes in it. It isn't easy to believe in something after you know what it's really like, but the Aquarian is essentially a realist, even though his address is tomorrow, with a wild-blue-yonder zip code.”

“It was a fabled railway that was the issue of desperation and fanaticism, made as much of myth and unreality as it was to be of wood and iron and the thousands upon thousands of lives that were to be laid down over the next year to build it. But what reality was ever made by realists?”

“For what reason then do the realists show themselves so unfriendly toward philosophy? Because they misunderstand their own calling and with all their might want to remain restricted instead of becoming unrestricted! Why do they hate abstractions? Because they themselves are abstract since they abstract from the perfection of themselves, from the elevation of redeeming truth!”

![Fyodor Dostoevsky](https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/authors/1629693671i/3137322._UX200_CR0,25,200,200_.jpg)
“....чуда никад не збуњују реалиста. Чуда не доводе реалиста вери. Прави реалист, ако не верује, увек ће наћи у себи снаге и способности да не поверује ни у чудо; а ако чудо стане пред њега као неуклоњива чињеница, онда он пре неће поверовати својим осећањима него што ће допустити чињеницу. А ако је и допусти, онда ће је допустити као природну чињеницу, која му само до сада није била позната. Код реалиста се не рађа вера услед чуда, него чудо услед вере. Кад реалист једном поверује, он баш услед свог реализма мора допустити и чудо. Апостол Тома је изјавио да неће поверовати док не види, а кад је видео, он рече: “Господ мој и бог мој!” Је ли га чудо нагнало да верује? Највероватније је да није, него је поверовао једино стога што је желео да верује, и што је можда већ веровао потпуно, у дубини своје душе, чак и онда кад је говорио: “Нећу веровати док не видим.”

“Aurélie had learned from heartbreak that love is not for idealists, but realists; it should always be passionate, but it is always dangerous. That infatuation is a game of power, but love leaves us powerless--and it is our dignity in its aftermath that defines us.”

“A realist’s heart
It is not dead but it isn’t fully alive either
It is not affected by the change of the weather
It is truthful with itself
And does not remain for the taking on the shelf
A realist heart is simply a heart that knows it can stop beating at any minute
Every beat, the realist ought not waste it”
