We live in a hallucination of our own devising. Alan Kay Things are seldom what they seem. Skim milk masquerades as cream. W.S. Gilbert (1836-1911) Common sense imagines that when it sees a table it sees a table. This is a gross delusion. Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) An independent reality in the ordinary physical sense can neither be ascribed to the phenomenon nor to the agencies of observation. Niels Bohr (1885-1962) What we call reality is an agreement that people have arrived at to make life more livable. Louise Nevelson When you finally understand the universe, it will not only be stranger than you imagine, it will be stranger than you CAN imagine. Arthur C. Clarke (1917-) Only when we realize that there is no eternal, unchanging truth or absolute truth can we arouse in ourselves a sense of intellectual responsibility. Hu Shih Matter is less material and the mind less spiritual than is generally supposed. The habitual separation of physics and psychology, of mind and matter is metaphysically indefensible. Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) As in Rome there is, apart from the Romans, a population of statues, so apart from this real world there is a world of illusion, almost more potent, in which most men live. Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749-1832) What was once called the objective world is a sort of Rorschach ink blot, into which each culture, each system of science and religion, each type of personality, reads a meaning only remotely derived from the shape and color of the blot itself.
