Top 160 Iain Reid Quotes (2024 Update)

Iain Reid Quote: “I wish I’d done better. I wish I could have done more.”
Iain Reid Quote: “Sometimes a thought is closer to truth, to reality, than an action. You can say anything, you can do anything, but you can’t fake a thought.”
Iain Reid Quote: “Getting to know someone is like putting a never-ending puzzle together. We fit the smallest pieces first and we get to know ourselves better in the process.”
Iain Reid Quote: “I’m thinking of ending things. Once this thought arrives, it stays. It sticks. It lingers. It dominates. There’s not much I can do about it. Trust me. It doesn’t go away. It’s there whether I like it or not. It’s there when I eat. When I go to bed. It’s there when I sleep. It’s there when I wake up. It’s always there. Always.”
Iain Reid Quote: “People talk about the ability to endure. To endure anything and everything, to keep going, to be strong. But you can do that only if you’re not alone. That’s always the infrastructure life’s built on. A closeness with others. Alone it all becomes a struggle of mere endurance.”
Iain Reid Quote: “Habitual, comfortable activity is the worst kind of prison, because the bars are concealed. You can never learn anything that way.”
Iain Reid Quote: “The possibility of evil shocks you. But you aren’t the target, so it’s okay. You forget about it. You move on. It’s not happening to you. It happened to someone else.”
Iain Reid Quote: “Every story is made up. Even the real ones.”
Iain Reid Quote: “Even considering the data that shows the majority of marriages don’t last, people still think marriage is the normal human state. Most people want to get married. Is there anything else that people do in such huge numbers, with such a terrible success rate?”
Iain Reid Quote: “Being alone isn’t the worst thing. It’s okay to be lonely. I can deal with loneliness. We can’t have everything. I can’t have everything.”
Iain Reid Quote: “Questions are good. They’re better than answers. If you want to know more about life, how we work, how we progress, it’s questions that are important. That’s what pushes and stretches our intellect. I think questions make us feel less lonely and more connected. It’s not always about knowing.”
Iain Reid Quote: “For years, my life has been flat. I’m not sure how else to describe it. I’ve never admitted it before. I’m not depressed, I don’t think. That’s not what I’m saying. Just flat, listless. So much has felt accidental, unnecessary, arbitrary. It’s been lacking a dimension. Something seems to be missing.”
Iain Reid Quote: “We’re never inside someone else’s head. We can never really know someone else’s thoughts. And it’s thoughts that count. Thought is reality. Actions can be faked.”
Iain Reid Quote: “Is intelligence always good? I wonder. What if intelligence is wasted? What if intelligence leads to more loneliness rather than to fulfillment? What if instead of productivity and clarity, it generates pain, isolation, and regret?”
Iain Reid Quote: “On the nights I can’t sleep, like that one, like so many recently, I wish I could just turn my mind off like a lamp.”
Iain Reid Quote: “There’s only one question to resolve. I’m scared. I feel a little crazy. I’m not lucid. The assumptions are right. I can feel my fear growing. Now is the time for the answer. Just one question. One question to answer.”
Iain Reid Quote: “That’s the thing. Part of everything will always be forgettable. No matter how good or remarkable it is. It literally has to be. To be.”
Iain Reid Quote: “The meaning of my existence is that life has addressed a question to me. Or, conversely, I myself am a question which is addressed to the world, and I must communicate my answer, for otherwise I am dependent upon the world’s answer.”
Iain Reid Quote: “A memory is its own thing each time it’s recalled. It’s not absolute. Stories based on actual events often share more with fiction than fact. Both fictions and memories are recalled and retold. They’re both forms of stories. Stories are the way we learn. Stories are how we understand each other. But reality happens only once.”
Iain Reid Quote: “Just tell your story. Pretty much all memory is fiction and heavily edited. So just keep going.”
Iain Reid Quote: “The privilege of being human is that our brains are big enough to decide the fate of other creatures.”
Iain Reid Quote: “Experience trumps age,′ he said. ‘We have to find ways to experience because that’s how we learn, that’s how we know.”
Iain Reid Quote: “You also know things are real when they can be lost.”
Iain Reid Quote: “There was no dependency. Dependency equates to seriousness.”
Iain Reid Quote: “Both fictions and memories are recalled and retold. They’re both forms of stories. Stories are the way we learn. Stories are how we understand each other.”
Iain Reid Quote: “I think a lot of what we learn about others isn’t what they tell us. It’s what we observe. People can tell us anything they want.”
Iain Reid Quote: “I’ve been told these old barns are physical reminders of an older life, when things were different. They need upkeep. They need to be restored. It would be a tragedy if the one in this field is ablaze. Another barn lost.”
Iain Reid Quote: “Why bother taking notice of everything going on around you, filling up your mind with irrelevant details and excess information? What’s going to happen will happen regardless. Awareness is beside the point.”
Iain Reid Quote: “Pretty much all memory is fiction and heavily edited.”
Iain Reid Quote: “Why do people stay together”? They stay together because it’s expected, because it’s what they know. They try to make it work, to endure it, and end up living under some kind of spiritual anesthetic. They go on, but they are numb. There is nothing worse than to live your life this way. Detached, but abiding. It’s immoral.”
Iain Reid Quote: “Ordinary is impossible. It’s more realistic to believe that we are all exceptional, that I, too, am singular, unique, that there has never been nor ever will be another me.”
Iain Reid Quote: “Are small, critical actions enough? Small gestures make us feel good – about ourselves, about others. Small things connect us. They feel like everything. A lot depends on them. It’s not unlike religion and God. We believe in certain constructs that help us understand life. Not only to understand it, but as a means of providing comfort.”
Iain Reid Quote: “Maybe that’s how we know when a relationship is real. When someone else previously unconnected to us knows us in a way we never thought or believed possible.”
Iain Reid Quote: “But isn’t being alone closer to the truest version of ourselves, when we’re not linked to another, not diluted by their presence and judgments? We form relationships with others, friends, family. That’s fine. Those relationships don’t bind the way love does. We can still have lovers, short-term. But only when alone can we focus on ourselves, know ourselves. How can we know ourselves without this solitude?”
Iain Reid Quote: “That’s what time does. It ushers a return to equilibrium. Unease becomes ease. A shock, no matter how potent, always wears off with time.”
Iain Reid Quote: “Seeing someone with their parents is a tangible reminder that we’re all composites.”
Iain Reid Quote: “I’ve expected you to understand how I’m feeling, and it just doesn’t happen. It’s so discouraging, draining. It’s like as long as we’re here, moving from day to day, your convinced that I’m happy. Honestly, I rarely feel happy. I don’t want to have to tell you everything. I shouldn’t have to. Not if you’re paying attention, even just a bit, considering me in a way that’s not just superficial. I want my own identity separate from being your wife. It’s just how it should be.”
Iain Reid Quote: “I’m not sure what to say. I’m losing interest. Fast.”
Iain Reid Quote: “You can’t really understand a relationship until you live it, unless you’re in it.”
Iain Reid Quote: “I can’t say this to Jake and I don’t, but maybe it’s better to be alone. Why abandon the routine we each master? Why give up the opportunity for many diverse relationships in exchange for one? There’s plenty of good with coupling up, I get it, but is it better? When single, I tend to focus on how much the company of someone would improve my life, increase my happiness. But does it?”
Iain Reid Quote: “When you become aware of your heart, you want it to stop beating. You need a break from the constant rhythm, a rest.”
Iain Reid Quote: “Other Animals Live In The Present. Humans Cannot, So They Invented Hope.”
Iain Reid Quote: “But isn’t it good to scare yourself from time to time? It’s so easy to get stuck in your own narrow rut. We convince ourselves they’re paths to something else, contentment, but really they’re just ruts going on forever.”
Iain Reid Quote: “The more we tell ourselves that we should always be happy, that happiness in an end in itself, the worse it gets.”
Iain Reid Quote: “You can hold beliefs and not always believe in them.”
Iain Reid Quote: “We accept, reject, and discern through symbols. These are as important to our understanding of life, our understanding of existence and what has value, whats worthwhile, as math and science... it’s all part of how we work through things, how we make decisions.”
Iain Reid Quote: “This is what we desire as humans – security, certainty, affirmation.”
Iain Reid Quote: “I should have told someone. But I didn’t. I didn’t think it was anything significant until it was.”
Iain Reid Quote: “We have a real connection, a rare and intense attachment. I’ve never experienced anything like it.”
Iain Reid Quote: “I’m thinking of ending things. Onc this thought arrives, it stays. It sticks. It lingers. It dominates. There’s not much I can do about it. Trust me. It doesn’t go away. It’s there whether I like it or not... You can’t fake a thought. And this is what I’m thinking.”
