“Through no choice of our own, we were born into the existing culture of a particular period of history, and we have taken on the traits of this culture. We have lived by its rules and understandings; it has seeped into our inwardness. It all seems very natural and real. Most of us have had no one to tell us that the world is not real at all. It is the unreal world.”

-N. Gordon Cosby, Seized by the Power of a Great Affection
