> The world is like a ride in an amusement park. And when you choose to go on it you think it's real because that's how powerful our minds are. And the ride goes up and down and round and round. It has thrills and chills and it's very brightly colored and it's very loud and it's fun, for a while. Some people have been on the ride for a long time and they begin to question: "Is this real, or is this just a ride?" And other people have remembered, and they come back to us, they say: "Hey, don't worry, don't be afraid, ever, because this is just a ride."
Bill Hicks
Fixed name
The title reminded me of this too, but it was Bill Hicks, not Richard Hicks.

only difference is, in real world there may be consequences that you may not be able to undo so you may have to be little careful while riding.
