"Di kompleks oasis, lelaki haus membayangkan dia melihat air, pohon-pohon palem, dan naungan bukan karena dia memiliki bukti untuk kepercayaan, tetapi karena dia membutuhkannya. Kebutuhan putus asa membawa halusinasi solusi mereka: haus air halusinasi, kebutuhan akan cinta halusinasi seorang pangeran atau putri. Kompleks oasis tidak pernah menjadi khayalan sepenuhnya: manusia di gurun memang melihat sesuatu di cakrawala. Hanya saja telapak tangan telah layu, sumur kering, dan tempat itu terinfeksi belalang."

--- Alain de Botton

Versi Bahasa Inggris

In the oasis complex, the thirsty man images he sees water, palm trees, and shade not because he has evidence for the belief, but because he has a need for it. Desperate needs bring about a hallucination of their solution: thirst hallucinates water, the need for love hallucinates a prince or princess. The oasis complex is never a complete delusion: the man in the desert does see something on the horizon. It is just that the palms have withered, the well is dry, and the place is infected with locusts.
