“Fabricating reality was criminal; editing it, commonplace.”
“That was the chief difference between literature and life. In books, the proportion of exceptional to commonplace people is high; in reality, very low.”
“Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached. ”
“The straining of dreams against the fabric of reality. Growing up meant burying possibilities, one after another.”
“It is so much simpler to bury reality than it is to dispose of dreams. ― Don DeLillo, Americana (ACTES SUD; 0 edition, August 10, 1993)”
“He who cannot change the very fabric of his thought will never be able to change reality, and will never, therefore, make any progress.”
