The list of things which we absolutely
know, is not a long one, and we have not the luck to add a fresh one to
it often, but I recognized that I had added one to mine this day. I knew,
now, that it isn't safe to sit in judgment upon another person's illusion
when you are not on the inside. While you are thinking it is a dream, he
may be knowing it is a planet. - "Three Thousand Years Among the Microbes" |

Don't part with your illusions. When they are gone you may still exist,
but you have ceased to live.
