'But my dear Sebastian, you can't seriously believe it all.' ‘Can’t I?’ ‘I mean about Christmas and the star and the three kings and the ox and the ass.’ ‘Oh yes, I believe that. It’s a lovely idea.’ ‘But you can’t believe things because they’re a lovely idea.’ ‘But I do. That’s how I believe.’ – Charles and Sebastian, Brideshead Revisted, Evelyn Waugh. Bk.I, ch.4 P:63
