“Fantasy is seductive and much more wonderful than reality, but you can't take it to the bank. It's always an escape.

When it starts to become undifferentiated from reality, it leads to big trouble.” IfsShowsBigsRealityUsedFantasyWonderfulTroubleFinePeriodsSeductiveAttending Author:Woody Allen
“The goal is to keep the bewildered herd bewildered. It's unnecessary for them to trouble themselves with what's happening in the world. In fact, it's undesirable - if they see too much of reality they may set themselves to change it.” IfsWorldMayFactsRealityGoalToo MuchTroubleHappeningsUnnecessaryHerdsBewilderedUndesirable Book:How the World Works Source: How the World Works
