“The Great Fool is a definite doctrine. Salvation, whatever salvation
may mean, is not to be obtained on any reasonable terms. Reason is an
impasse, reason is damnation; only madness, divine madness, offers an
issue. Nearly all primitive people possess this tradition, at least in a
diluted form.

~Book of Thoth
