“We accept reality so readily - perhaps because we sense that nothing is real.”

“We can accept the unpleasant more readily than we can the inconsequential.”

“You must accept the reality of other people. You think that reality is up for negotiation, that we think it's whatever you say it is. You must accept that we are as real as you are; you must accept that you are not God.”
