Make Believe partakes of the nature of the magic ritual. We not only pretend to be what we are not, but by staging our pretense we strive to conjure and bring in to existence a new genuineness. The strange thing is that often this conjuring act succeeds, and we become what we pretend to be. - Eric Hoffer, "The Passionate State Of Mind, and Other Aphorisms," 1955
