Verify Quotes - Page 3

• I you're writing memoir, but it even comes up in fiction. People just assume that you're writing thinly veiled autobiography.

• We perceive and interpret the outer world through a set of incredibly fine internal receptors. But we are incapable, by ourselves, of grasping or tweezing out any permanent, sharable figment of it.
