“Lies 1: There is only the present and nothing to remember.

Lies 2: Time is a straight line.

Lies 3: The difference between the past and the future is that one has happened while the other has not.

Lies 4: We can only be in one place at a time.

Lies 5: Any proposition that contains the word 'finite' (the world, the universe, experience, ourselves...)

Lies 6: Reality as something which can be agreed upon.

Lies 7: Reality is truth.”
― Jeanette Winterson, Sexing the Cherry

If nobody speaks of remarkable things, how can they be called remarkable?”
― Jon McGregor, If Nobody Speaks Of Remarkable Things

“Language always betrays us, tells the truth when we want to lie, and dissolves into formlessness when we would most like to be precise.”
