| “It’s easier to do the time. You got to understand the god thing.It’s not magic. Not exactly. It’s about focus, It’s about being you, but the You that people believe in. It’s about being the concentrated, magnified essence of you. It’s about becoming the thunder, or the power of the running horse, or wisdom. You take all belief, all the prayers and they become a kind of certainty, something that lets you become bigger, cooler, more than human. You crystallize.” He paused “And then one day they forget about you, and they don’t believe in you, and they don’t sacrifice, and they don’t care, and the next thing you know you you’re running a three-card monte game on the corner of Broadway and Forty-third.” -----Loki Lie-Smith “American Gods” |
