"'Mother Rabia,' she said, 'my predecessor and teacher, often said she experienced people as being trapped inside bubbles. One or two tiny little holes were pricked in the bubbles. And only through these holes could the bubbles connect to one another, only through them could people communicated and experience reality. Those holes ensure that we always experience the same few basic situations. Each of us carries around our own reality. But we have very little contact with other people's reality.'"
- 'The Quiet Girl', Peter Høeg.
