Mundus Vult Decipi: The World Wants To

In Spite Of All Similarities, Every Living Situation Has, Like A Newborn Child, A New Face, That Has Never Been Before And Will Never Come Again. It Demands Of You A Reaction That Cannot Be Prepared Beforehand. It Demands Nothing Of What Is Past. It Demands Presence, Responsibility; It Demands You.

The Perfection Of Any Matter, The Highest Or The Lowest, Touches On The Divine.

Everyone Has In Him Something Precious That Is In No One Else.

The Concept Of Guilt Is Found Most Powerfully Developed Even In The Most Primitive Communal Forms Which We Know... The Man Is Guilty Who Violates One Of The Original Laws Which Dominate The Society And Which Are Mostly Derived From A Divine Founder; The Boy Who Is Accepted Into The Tribal Community And Learns Its Laws, Which Bind Him Thenceforth, Learns To Promise; This Promise Is Often Given Under The Sign Of Death, Which Is Symbolically Carried Out On The Boy, With A Symbolical Rebirth.

One Who Truly Meets The World Goes Out Also To God.
