#6“Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn’t go away.”
Great quote.
So great I even posted it to my twitter account (my other bookmarking service) But the paste dropped the end quote mark and added a comma to the front. HN did not and did the above paste just fine.
It bothers me, and I don't know why.

#7Ironic, given that a hallmark of a "Phildickian" work is that the protagonist's reality can fall apart before the end of the work.

Not to get too confrontational but why? The point of reading text by a talented author is to read his/her words in the way they wrote it.
Otherwise it's all "14 year old girl wanted to test if her boyfriend would really get upset if she died, faked her death, it goes horribly wrong"
