We live in a society in which spurious realities are manufactured by the media, by governments, by big corporations, by religious groups, political groups. I ask, in my writing, "What is real?" Because unceasingly we are bombarded with pseudo realities manufactured by very sophisticated people using very sophisticated electronic mechanisms. I do not distrust their motives; I distrust their power. They have a lot of it. And it is an astonishing power, that of creating whole universes, universes of the mind. I ought to know. I do the same thing. ~Philip K. Dick

But during the administration of the present President we have had neither agreement nor a clear-cut battle. ~Franklin D. Roosevelt

He knew he should have counted. It was the rule to count to ten in his head before he opened his mouth.

It was the rule to count to ten if instinct wasn't needed, but common sense was. ~Melina Marchetta
