Reality exists in the human mind, and nowhere else. [...] What knowledge have we of anything, save through our own minds?
~ George Orwell, Nineteen Eighty-Four
~ George Orwell, Nineteen Eighty-Four
Let him have all the perfections in the world, I think it ought not to be set down as certain, that a man must be acceptable to every woman he may happen to like himself. ˜ Another short fit of abstraction followed, when, shaking it off, she thus attacked her companion. ˜ [...] formed such a contrast with his early opinion on the subject [...] as time is for ever producing between the plans and decisions of mortals, for their own instruction, and their neighbours' entertainment. -- Mansfield Park by Jane Austen
