Przede wszystkim zaś należy silnie odróżnić czasy naszej społeczności, gdzie wszystko się dzieje w świetle refleksji, od czasów owych naiwnie łatwowiernych społeczności, wyłaniających z siebie wiary, które panowały jednak całe wieki. Jeszcze nie powstało nic wielkiego, co nie opierałoby się na legendzie. Jedyną winowajczynią jest tu chyba tylko ludzkość, która chce być oszukiwana.
