“-¿Con la fantasía?-preguntó Esther-. ¿Qué es una fantasía?, ¿lo mismo que una ilusión?

-No precisamente, la fantasía es algo que existe, pero a muchos les parece que no. Con la ilusión ocurre lo contrario, es aquello que no existe, pero muchos creen que sí- le contesta Drágor detalladamente.”
― Goran Petrović, Atlas descrito por el cielo
