“Virtual reality is a self-created form of chosen reality. Therefore it exists.”

“We love books because they are the greatest escape. That is because our own minds eye is the purest form of virtual reality.”

“Virtual reality has nothing on Calvin.”

“Because memory and sensations are so uncertain, so biased, we always rely on a certain reality-call it an alternate reality-to prove the reality of events. To what extent facts we recognize as such really are as they seem, and to what extent these are facts merely because we label them as such, is an impossible distinction to draw. Therefore, in order to pin down reality as reality, we need another reality to relativize the first. Yet that other reality requires a third reality to serve as its grounding. An endless chain is created within our consciousness, and it is the very maintenance of this chain that produces the sensation that we are actually here, that we ourselves exist.”

“The only true reality is love and our infinite capacity to create it, in every form and in every moment”

“Only then did I realise that for me, and many others, Israel was virtual. For Murad, Israel was 'home.' Israel was a reality; a harsh reality.”
