“A man wrote to say that he accepted nothing but Solipsism, and added that he had often wondered it was not a more common philosophy. Now Solipsism simply means that a man believes in his own existence, but not in anybody or anything else. And it never struck this simple sophist, that if his philosophy was true, there obviously were no other philosophers to profess it.”

– G.K. Chesterton, St. Thomas Aquinas, 1933

Another Dimension

“Gallery 1988 in Los Angeles and San Francisco has delivered plenty of art shows with science fiction themes, asking artists to meditate on everything from He-Man to Lost. Next on the agenda is “Another Dimension,” which opens May 20th and features art inspired by the classic science fiction anthology series The Twilight Zone. These are just a few of the early images that have emerged. You can check out more at Super Punch.”
