“Rationalization is a process of not perceiving reality, but of attempting to make reality fit one’s emotions.”

“The term "cognitive disorder" implies there is something wrong with the way I think or the way I perceive reality. I perceive reality just fine. Sometimes I perceive more of reality than others.”

“The belief that one’s own view of reality is the only reality is the most dangerous of all delusions.”

“Man keeps looking for a truth that fits his reality. Given our reality, the truth doesn't fit.”

“There is only one reality - the reality knowable to reason. And if man does not choose to perceive it, there is nothing else for him to perceive; if it is not of this world that he is conscious, then he is not conscious at all”

“Those who tell you that man is unable to perceive a reality undistorted by his senses, mean that they are unwilling to perceive a reality undistorted by their feelings. "Things as they are" are things as perceived by your mind; divorce them from reason and they become "things as perceived by your wishes.”
