    That humanity at large will ever be able to dispense with Artificial
 Paradises seems very unlikely.  Most men and women lead lives at
 the worst so painful, at the best so monotonous, poor and limited
 that the urge to escape, the longing to transcend themselves if only
 for a few moments, is and has always been one of the principal
 appetites of the soul.  -- Aldous Huxley
