Quotes by Harold R. Johnson (?)

“Half of what you see is just stuff you made up, and you’ve been making it up all of your life. You ever watch little kids when they play? Ever wonder what that’s about, why everything they do is pretend? You take half a dozen four-year-olds and put them together and within a few minutes they’ll be playing and most of their play is pretend. They’re making stuff up. And we never stop. We keep living in our imagination until we normalize it and then we call it reality, and all we’ve done is taught ourselves that this world we imagined is something real.”
― Harold R. Johnson, Corvus

“I ask myself why, why, with all this beauty around, the spectacular landscape, raw nature in abundance, why would anyone believe they had nothing to do? ... Where did this story come from that there is nothing to do? What story are we telling our children?”
