There are no people, nothing at all like that. The human phenomenon is but the sum of densely coiled layers of illusion, each of which winds itself upon the supreme insanity that there are persons of any kind, when all that can be is mindless mirrors, laughing and screaming as they parade about in an endless dream.

It's like stepping into a dream that you've been dreaming as long as you can remember and finding out that the dream is more real than your life.
