Man in Quotes

We may believe in Truth, but Truth is not something we encounter by believing. It does not rest in faith or belief. Belief is nothing more than wish-fulfillment and childish fantasy. Cinderella for the girls, Napoleon or Jesus for the boys. And the gap between belief and action is nothing other than playacting, a mask placed on top of a mask. As if we were marionettes dancing in a puppet stage, and as our gaze traces its way up along our strings, we see our puppet master, who is himself another marionette.
