“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 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.”
― Philip K. Dick

“I guess I always felt even if the world came to an end, McDonald's would still be open.”

“You can't become a decent horseman until you fall off and get up again, a good number of times.
There's life in a nutshell.”
― Bear Grylls, Mud, Sweat and Tears
