The movies

We are always acting on what has just finished happening.
        It happened at least 1/30th of a second ago.

We think we're in the present, but we aren't.
        The present we know is only a movie of the past.

                Ken Kesey, in The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test by Tom Wolfe
