“A tormenting thought: as of a certain point, history was no longer real. Without noticing it, all mankind suddenly left reality: everything happening since then was supposedly not true; but we supposedly didn’t notice. Our task would now be to find that point, and as long as we didn’t have it, we would be forced to abide in our present destruction.” - Elias Canetti.

““Once,” said the Mock Turtle at last with a deep sigh, “I was a real turtle.” These words were followed by a long silence, broken only by the occasional exclamation of “Hjckrrh!”” - Lewis Carroll.
