We grew up in a commercial world and how can we tell what’s real, now?

Ahead of Time (1953)

The words. I couldn’t understand the words. The only means of communication, and they are a deadly barrier.

Ahead of Time (1953)

“Oddly enough—” And here the devil sighed. “Oddly enough, those who make bargains with me never do have the capability to use their gifts. I suppose only inferior minds expect to get something for nothing. Yours is distinctly inferior.”

Ahead of Time (1953)

Then I knew that the last test of sanity had failed me, for it was no longer possible to tell the unreal from the real. The last test fails when the illusion moves into life itself and you can touch and feel and handle the commercial vision as if she were the real woman. There was no defense any more.
