A doctrine insulates the devout not only against the realities around them but also against their own selves. The fanatical believer is not conscious of his envy, malice, pettiness and dishonesty. There is a wall of words between his consciousness and his real self.
—Eric Hoffer
一种教义不仅把虔诚的人与他们周围的现实隔绝，而且还与他们自己的自我隔绝。狂热的信徒没有意识到他的嫉妒、恶意、卑鄙和不诚实。他的意识和真实的自我之间有一层话语。
