Famous quote by Samuel Johnson

"The world is seldom what it seems; to man, who dimly sees, realities appear as dreams, and dreams realities"

About this Quote

This quote by Samuel Johnson speaks with the idea that our understanding of the world is typically distorted. We might think we understand the world around us, however in reality, our understanding is restricted. We might see things that are not real, and miss out on the real truth of the scenario. Dreams can often appear more real than the real world, and the world can often appear like a dream. This quote is a pointer that we must not take our perception of the world for given, and that we must make every effort to see the world as it truly is. We should not be deceived by our own restricted understanding, and instead make every effort to get a much deeper understanding of the world around us.
