You know, that's the trouble with your generation. You must see and touch before you can believe. Well, can you touch the wind? St. Augustine said that. Now, you're clever. You're intelligent. But you frighten yourself with words. Ah! People don't know what they want half the time. More money, they think, or more power. Or just another drink, perhaps. Or another wife, Or another lover... Ah, but it's none of these things, because even when they have them, there's still something they want, and they don't know what it is. And they go on wanting something and not knowing what it is. And that is the root of all the religions in the world
