1 " I am here alone for the first time in weeks, to take up my " real" life again at last. That is what is strange - that friends, even passionate love, are not my real life unless there is time alone in which to explore and to discover what is happening or has happened. Without the interruptions, nourishing and maddening, this life would become arid. Yet I taste it fully only when I am alone here and " the house and I resume old conversations" . "
2 " I have a habitual feeling of my real life having past, and that I am now leading a posthumous existence. "
― John Keats , Selected Letters
3 " I lived with the terrible knowledge that one day I would be an old man still waiting for my real life to start. Already, I pitied that old man. "
― Pat Conroy , The Prince of Tides
4 " I guess I probably make violent films partly because I can't express my anger in my real life very well. "
