“She's anything but typical;
She's so unpredictable.
Oh but even at her worst it ain't that bad.
She's as real as real can be
And she's every fantasy.
Lord she's every lover that I've ever had.
And she's every lover that I've never had.”

Garth Brooks (1962) American country music artist

She's Every Woman, written by Victoria Shaw and G. Brooks.
Song lyrics, Fresh Horses (1995)

“I may be a real bad boy, but baby, I'm a real good man.”

“This crowded world of Space was perfectly real to him. How he had got to it I do not know.”

John Buchan (1875–1940) British politician

Space (1912)
Context: This crowded world of Space was perfectly real to him. How he had got to it I do not know. Perhaps his mind, dwelling constantly on the problem, had unsealed some atrophied cell and restored the old instinct. Anyhow, he was living his daily life with a foot in each world.
