In Brooklyn trees I used to watch caterpillars turn into cacoons, then a butterfly. Does that mean the caterpillar dreams he's a butterfly now? He fluttered about happily, doing as he pleased, completely unaware that he was a human named Zhuang Zhou. When he suddenly woke up, he was unmistakably himself again. This left him with a deep question: Was he a man who had dreamt he was a butterfly, or is he now a butterfly dreaming that he is a man? -- The Starmaker -- To question the unquestionable, ask the unaskable, to think the unthinkable, mention the unmentionable, say the unsayable, and challenge the unchallengeable.
