Ishmael by Daniel Quinn, r. Apr. 2011

The story the Leavers have been enacting here for the past three million years isn't a story of conquest and rule. Enacting it doesn't give them power. Enacting it gives them lives that are satisfying and meaningful to them. p. 147

I was afraid I was dreaming. I sometimes fly in my dreams, and each time I say to myself, "At last - it's happening in reality and not in a dream!" p. 28
