Reality is what we take to be true. What we take to be true is what we believe. What we believe is based upon our perceptions. What we perceive depends upon what we look for. What we look for depends upon what we think. What we think depends upon what we perceive. What we perceive determines what we believe. What we believe determines what we take to be true. what we take to be true is our reality.

Not all famous quotes are good ones though. Here is Putin exposing the cultural difference between Russia and the West:
"Say hello to your president. He really surprised us... turned out to be quite a mighty man. He raped 10 women. I never expected it from him. He surprised all of us. We all envy him."
Vladimir Putin, October 19, 2006 to Prime Minister Ehud Olmert of Israel.
