“It fits with what I think I know, but I admit I don't know about "all" reality. Maybe there is no "all" as the human mind would like to think about it. Maybe reality extends forever, forward and backward in a process of change in time. Maybe the universe has no boundaries.”

“Reality TV... The curse of the twenty-first century. Why were people so fascinated by being spectators to other people's lives? Watching people bake cakes, build tree houses, or just invading rich families' living rooms. It was like watching a soap opera without the plot.”

“Man’s life is a cheat and a disappointment;
All things are unreal,
Unreal or disappointing:
The Catherine wheel, the pantomime cat,
The prizes given at the children’s party,
The prize awarded for the English Essay,
The scholar’s degree, the statesman’s decoration.
All things become less real, man passes
From unreality to unreality.
This man is obstinate, blind, intent
On self-destruction,
Passing from deception to deception,
From grandeur to grandeur to final illusion,
Lost in the wonder of his own greatness,
The enemy of society, enemy of himself.”

“The truth about my life is interesting enough not to make up a single detail. I never have to create an unimaginable story or problems, hardships, successes or victories or scenarios for a storyline. They write themselves. You just never know when I label it fiction or non-fiction.”

“We know something about reality, my father and I. And I bet you know it, too. Is it that reality is too much? Too painful, too limited, too restrictive of joy or opportunity? No,' she says. 'I think it's that reality is not enough.”
