I think the devil doesn’t exist, but man has created him, he has created him in his own image and likeness.

Fyodor Dostoevsky,The Brothers Karamazov

Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart

Today we live in a society in which spurious realities are manufactured by the media, by governments, by big corporations, by religious groups, political groups… So I ask, in my writing, What is real? Because unceasingly we are bombarded with pseudo-realities manufactured by very sophisticated people using very sophisticated electronic mechanisms. I do not distrust their motives; I distrust their power. They have a lot of it. And it is an astonishing power: that of creating whole universes, universes of the mind. I ought to know. I do the same thing.

Philip K. Dick

J.R.R. Tolkien,The Return of the King

So I tried to write a song to make you blush but I’ve a feeling that the whole thing may well just end up too clever for its own good.
