"Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away. " - Philip K Dick.
Good quote, but what about the reality that I believe something? ;) The fact that beliefs themselves are real things complicates this slightly.
It's possible to stop believing that you believe something while continuing to believe it. It's rare, and you won't notice you did so, but it can happen.
