Quotes by Sarah Newton (?)

“Human identity is fundamentally an illusion; it’s an evolutionary overhang which lets us function as coherent self-aware animals. But, on a deep level, we have no real evidence that when we wake up we’re the same person who went to sleep.”
― Sarah Newton, Mindjammer

“accept a given set of assumptions about how the world is. Even intelligent people. And then we use our intelligence entirely within the framework of those assumptions, without ever realising that they might be wrong—might be misleading—even that they’re there at all.”
― Sarah Newton, Mindjammer

Sarah’s Quotes

“If, after having been in someone's presence, you feel like you've lost a quart of plasma - avoid that presence. No one likes to hear the word "vampire" used around here... it's kind of bad for our public image.”
― William S. Burroughs
