“In our world, Igraine, there is room enough for many Gods and Goddesses. But in the universe of the Christians - how can I say this? - there is no room for our vision or our wisdom. In their world there is one God alone; not only must he conquer over all Gods, he must make it as if there were no other Gods, had never been any Gods but only false idols, the world of their Devil. So that, believing in him, all men may be saved in this one life. This is what they believe. And as men believe, so their world goes. And so the worlds which once were one are drifting apart.”
― Marion Zimmer Bradley, The Mists of Avalon

It is acting according to wish while not allowing oneself to be deflected by the facts.”
― Barbara Tuchman
