H.P. Lovecraft
“Despite all the evidence given in the other pages here, there will still be those who believe that the Necronomicon is a “real†book. There will also be those who merely claim to believe, as a means of getting a reaction out of others. There are also those who will claim that the power of the hoax Necronomicons is real, even those who admit that these books are “hoaxes.†There’s not much point in arguing with this latter group of people. They are of the opinion that “power†comes from belief, and so their mere belief in these hoax books imbues them with power.”
The most merciful thing in the world . . . is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents.
— H.P. Lovecraft
