"People living at the seashore grow so accustomed to the murmur of the waves that they never hear it. By the same token, we scarcely ever hear the words which we utter...we look at each other, but we do not see each other anymore. Our perception of the world has withered away, what has remained is mere recognition..." - Viktor Sklovskij (Slovsky)
