It was amazing, this mystic business. You tell them a lie, and then when
you don't need it any more you tell them another lie and tell them
they're progressing along the road to wisdom. Then instead of laughing
they follow you even more, hoping that at the heart of all the lies
they'll find the truth. And bit by bit they accept the unacceptable.
