To deal with reality you must first recognize it as such.
Laurence GonzalesFarewells can be shattering, but returns are surely worse. Solid flesh can never live up to the bright shadow cast by its absence. Time and distance blur the edges; then suddenly the beloved has arrived, and it's noon with its merciless light, and every spot and pore and wrinkle and bristle stands clear.

Even to understand the word 'doublethink' involved the use of doublethink.
