"NON C'E' NULLA DI SPECIALE IN VOI!
SIETE STATI CAUSA DI MORTE E SOFFERENZA INDICIBILI PER NIENTE. GLI DEI NON VI CONSENTIRANNO PIU' DI MENTIRE A VOI STESSI; FISSATE IL VOLTO SCOPERTO DELLA VOSTRA MEDIOCRE AVIDITA'...
E DISPERATE!"
Sacred Invasion/Incredible Hercules #120: Pak-Van Lente-Bonet-Gracia (2010)
"All right," said Susan, "I'm not stupid. You're saying humans need fantasies to make life bearable."
REALLY? AS IF IT WAS SOME KIND OF PINK PILL? NO! HUMANS NEED FANTASY TO BE HUMAN. TO BE THE PLACE WHERE THE FALLING ANGEL MEET THE RISING APE.
"Tooth fairies? Hogfathers?"
YES! AS PRACTICE. YOU HAVE TO START OUT LEARNING TO BELIVE THE LITTLE LIES.
"So we can believe the big ones?"
YES. JUSTICE. DUTY. MERCY. THAT SORT OF THING.
"They're not the same at all!"
REALLY? THEN TAKE THE UNIVERSE AND GRIND IT DOWN TO THE FINEST POWDER AD SIEVE IT THROUGH THE FINEST SIEVE AND THEN SHOW ME ONE ATOM OF JUSTICE, ONE MOLECULE OF MERCY. AND YET YOU ACT, LIKE THERE WAS SOME SORT OF RIGHTNESS IN THE UNIVERSE BY WHICH IT MAY BE JUDGED.
"Yes. But people have got to believe that or what's the point?"
MY POINT EXACTLY.
-Terry Pratchett's book, "Hogfather" (1996)-
