Tonatiuh would keep running on his surplus blood from human sacrifices back in the Aztec days. And that other thing--science--would still generate gravity and quantum physics and whatever."''

It's about being the concentrated, magnified essence of you. It's about becoming thunder, or the power of a running horse, or wisdom. You take all the belief, all the prayers, and they become a kind of certainty, something that lets you become bigger, cooler, more than human. You crystallize."''

->"The more people believe in something, the more true that thing becomes. The more reality tips in the favor of that belief. What happened in Antarctica was that a group of men managed to make enough people believe in the truth of a flat Earth for it to manifest in reality. If they had been able to bring proof of that back to America, and spread it...the world would change. The moon landing would be a hoax. Every government, every airline, every communications corporation, they would have all been in on it from the beginning. Retroactively, the Earth would ''always'' have been flat."

Belief damned a woman, whose heart clung to the hope that another loved her when he did not. Once, it made a man seek immortality and achieve it. And it has made a posturing spirit think it is something more than a part of me."
