Quote by Stephen King
English (Source)
Mort believed that people - even those who try to be honest with themselves - are unable to accept when something ends. They trust, or at least try to trust, even when the final decision has already been written on the wall, in such large letters that anyone can read it from hundreds of meters away. When something is really important, it's easy to cheat, it's easy to mistake reality for a soap opera, and convince yourself that you don't have to see the situation so darkly, everything will turn out well in the end... maybe just after the next commercial. Mort thought that without the amazing power of self-delusion, humanity would probably be even crazier than it is now.
