"The Town is sealed," he states, "like this. That's why the longer you stay in here, the more you get to thinking that things are normal. You begin to doubt your judgment. You get what I'm saying?"
"Yes, I've felt that myself. I get so confused. Sometimes it seems I'm the cause of a lot of trouble."
"It's not that way at all," says my shadow, scratching a meandering pattern next to the circle. "We're the ones who are right. They're the ones who are wrong, absolutely. You have to believe that, while you still have the strength to believe. Or else the Town will swallow you, mind and all."
-pg. 248, Hard-boiled Wonderland and the End of the World, Haruki Murakami.
