“If an illusion makes a man happy, destroy that illusion! Because happiness must come via the truth!”
“Sometimes people don't want to hear the truth because they don't want their illusions destroyed.”
“Why, if it was an illusion, not praise the catastrophe, whatever it was, that destroyed illusion and put truth in it's place?”
“Rob the average man of his life-illusion, and you rob him of his happiness at the same stroke.”
“Where happiness was not a possibility, the illusion of it was always more important.”
“As truth is nonexistent, it can never be anything but illusion - but illusion, the by-product of revealing artifice, can reach the summits nearer the unobtainable peak of Perfect Truth. For example, female impersonators. The impersonator is in fact a man (truth), until he re-creates himself as a woman (illusion) and of the two, the illusion is the truer.”
