“Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.”

Philip K. Dick

Quote · 1871

“"Contrariwise," continued Tweedledee, "if it was so, it might be; and if it were so, it would be; but as it isn't, it ain't. That's logic."”

Lewis Carroll

Quote · 1910

“There is no God, no universe, no human race, no earthly life, no heaven, no hell. It is all a dream—a grotesque and foolish dream. Nothing exists but you. And you are but a thought—a vagrant thought, a useless thought, a homeless thought, wandering forlorn among the empty eternities!”

Mark Twain
