A wrong name makes everything unreal. That's what lies do.“ — Michael Ende „Civilization consists in giving something an unfitting name, then dream about the result. And indeed the false name and the real dream create a new reality. The object really becomes another, because we turned it into another one. We manufacture realities.“ — Fernando Pessoa „We are like sculptors, constantly carving out of others the image we long for, need, love or desire, often against reality, against their benefit, and always, in the end, a disappointment, because it does not fit them.“ — Anaïs Nin
