“The beauty of religious mania is that it has the power to explain everything. Once God (or Satan) is accepted as the first cause of everything which happens in the mortal world, nothing is left to chance...logic can be happily tossed out the window.”

“In a dream, in a fairytale, nothing has to be explained, everything happens of its own accord.”
