"The devil is no fool. He can get people feeling about heaven the way they ought to feel about hell. He can make them fear the means of Grace the way they do not fear sin. And he does so, not by light but by obscurity, not by realities but by shadows, not by clarity and substance but by nightmares and the creation of psychosis." -- Thomas Merton
