“To sum up: the sanity of the world was restored and the soul of man offered salvation
by something which did indeed satisfy the two warring tendencies of the past, which
had never been satisfied in full and most certainly never satisfied together.

Christianity met the mythological search for romance by being a _story_ and the 
philosophical search for truth by being a _true_ _story_.”
