“The world in your mind is as real as the world outside of it.”

“Empiricism teaches that there is a real world of fixed things on the outside and that ideas of these outside things are stamped on the mind which is at the beginning of life a blank.”

“In the outside world, he told me, there was no real silence.”

“My computer is a tool not a way of life. The real world is outside.”

“You perceive the world with your five senses. When your mind perceives the world, then the world exists before you. But if we are born without any senses, then how could we perceive the world except as a dream in our minds? But then...dreams often seem as real as the world we see now. Look...If I touch you with this hand, I can remember touching you, but I can't ever prove I did. If reality is nothing more than what is in our mind, then what is the difference between this world and a dream?”

“I have to speak my mind. Because what is in my mind is always more interesting than what is happening in the world outside my mind.”
