This is a world of dreams and reverie, where I felt the stars explode around me. A grass blade flashed with a gleam as it slashed open a moonbeam, and I stared back breathlessly. As mountains of fruit tumbled out, I barely had the chance to shout; a lingonberry avalanche crashed over me.

People project images of themselves. The reality is something else entirely.
Image and reality are separate phenomena. What lives and lurks beneath the surface of a beautiful face does not necessarily bear any resemblance to the face itself. There is no correspondence between what people say they are and what they really are.
Everyone wears a mask, or a series of masks. The persona is an instrument of deception, because the picture that people project out into the world is not reality, but a distortion of reality.
