“The trouble with fiction," said John Rivers, "is that it makes too much sense. Reality never makes sense.”
“Reality never has to make sense. Fiction does.”
“The difference between fiction and reality? Fiction has to make sense.”
“You can't do that, it makes too much sense.”
“...but that was the thing about reality. It didn't need to make sense.”
“The future is there... looking back at us. Trying to make sense of the fiction we will have become.”
