Description: The story they told men was a cunningly devised fable; the gospels they preached to them were not an account of manβs real position in this world, but an incoherent fabrication, of dead ghosts and unborn shadows, of traditions, cants, indolences, cowardices,βa falsity of falsities, which at last ceases to stick together. Wilfully and against their will, these high units of mankind were cheats, then; and the low millions who believed in them were dupes,βa kind of inverse cheats, too, or they would not have believed in them so long. β Charles Dickens, Bleak House.
