“While you are in a dream, everything seems real. If dreams are just a projection of your mind, this world is also a projection of your mind. The people around you are not real. Competing with them is like competing with your own shadow.”

“If your eyes can see something, is it real? If all your five senses confirm it, is it real? If five billion sets of senses (people) confirm it, is it real? If a holy book confirms it, is it real?

“If you can perceive something with all your 5 senses, you call that thing real. If you still doubt it, senses say, "Ask other people. They can confirm that what you see is real." But those other people are also being perceived by you through your 5 senses only. Who will confirm that they are real? You can be sure only about your own existence. Others may be just an illusion.”

“for we are all divorced from life, we are all cripples, every one of us, more or less. We are so divorced from it that we feel at once a sort of loathing for real life, and so cannot bear to be reminded of it.
