“This is an IMAGINARY STORY...aren't they all?”
“Now, for example, people with freckles aren't thought of as a minority by the non-freckled. They aren't a minority in the sense we're talking about. And why aren't they? Because a minority is only thought of as a minority when it constitutes some kind of a threat to the majority, real or imaginary. And no threat is ever quite imaginary.”
“In any case, muffins that are only imaginary aren't liable to get stuck.”
“All our stories are simultaneously unique and desperately similar, aren't they?”
“True stories deal with hunger, imaginary ones with love.”
“Sometimes the biggest disasters aren't noticed at all - no one's around to write horror stories.”
