Suddenly, it seems obvious to me: Only fantasy books can make sense of the skewed reality in which I live.

About This Quote

I was just thinking about how all the fantasy books I read at the age of 15 changed my ideas of reality. I stopped believing that people were selfish and greedy, and that they would do anything to get what they want. I stopped believing that people were controlling me. And I stopped believing that I had no control over anything in my life.

I started thinking, “Maybe there is something wrong with this whole world. Maybe it’s not really real at all, and maybe there’s nothing I can do about it.”
