“With all great deceivers there is a noteworthy occurrence to which they owe their power. In the actual act of deception, they are overcome by belief in themselves. The founders of religions are distinguished from these great deceivers by the fact that they never emerge from this state of self-deception, though a moment of clarity when doubt overcomes them may be ascribed to an evil antagonist. Self-deception has to exist if a grand effect is to be produced.”

—Human, All Too Human: Vol. 1, §52 (edited excerpt).
