“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...

I do not distrust their motives; I distrust their power. They have a lot of it. And it is an astonishing power: that of creating whole universes, universes of the mind. I ought to know. I do the same thing.”
