“There are many kinds of delusion.”
“No man is happy without a delusion of some kind. Delusions are as necessary to our happiness as realities..”
“When one person suffers from a delusion, it is called insanity. When many people suffer from a delusion it is called a Religion.”
“That's kind of what trust is, isn't it? A willful self-delusion.”
“We experience ourselves our thoughts and feelings as something separate from the rest. A kind of optical delusion of consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us.”
“Many have made a trade of delusions and false miracles, deceiving the stupid multitudes.”
