“Today we live in a society in which spurious realities are manufactured by the media, by governments, by big corporations, by religious groups, political groups... So I ask, in my writing, What is real? Because unceasingly we are bombarded with pseudo-realities manufactured by very sophisticated people using very sophisticated electronic mechanisms.

I do the same thing.”
― Philip K. Dick

“Cover her face; mine eyes dazzle. She died young.”
― John Webster, The Duchess of Malfi
