Trent: Whoa, whoa, whoa-- we're not talking about reality here. We're talking about fiction. It's different, you know. 
Styles: Reality is just what we tell each other it is. Sane and insane could easily switch places if the insane were to become the majority. You would find yourself locked in a padded cell wondering what happened to the world.
