“When one contemplates the streak of insanity running through human history, it appears highly probable that homo sapiens is a biological freak, the result of some remarkable mistake in the evolutionary process. The ancient doctrine of original sin, variants of which occur independently in the mythologies of diverse cultures, could be a reflection of man's awareness of his own inadequacy, of the intuitive hunch that somewhere along the line of his ascent something has gone wrong.”
― Arthur Koestler, The Ghost in the Machine

“Reality denied comes back to haunt.”
― Philip K. Dick, Flow My Tears, the Policeman Said

“That's what so many people didn't understand about life. The real world is the one within the walls of homes; the outside world, of careers and politics and money and fame, that was the fake world, where nothing lasted, and things were real only to the extent they harmed or helped people inside their homes.”
― Orson Scott Card, Hidden Empire

“...time was not passing...it was turning in a circle...”
― Gabriel García Márquez, One Hundred Years of Solitude
