quote: "You believe that everything outside you ("reality") is a reflection of your perceptions, thoughts, ideas, etc. In other words, that you can see, feel, hear, understand the world. Other people. I don't believe that. I believe that I'm so apart from the world, from other people, that I have to explain everything to every single person to such an extent in order to communicate at all, that, for me, communication's almost impossible." (Kathy Acker, My Mother: Demonology)
