Unreality

Famous quotes containing the word unreality:

    Converse: I can’t believe we did this.
    Marge’s father: A sense of unreality is not a legal defense.
    Judith Rascoe, U.S. screenwriter, Robert Stone (b. 1939)

    Terrified of being alone, yet afraid of intimacy, we experience widespread feelings of emptiness, of disconnection, of the unreality of self. And here the computer, a companion without emotional demands, offers a compromise. You can be a loner, but never alone. You can interact, but need never feel vulnerable to another person.
    Sherry Turkle (b. 1948)
