It's only words

23/1/2007 - Today's quote - W.C.Fields

More people are driven insane through religious hysteria than by drinking alcohol.

 

After good old Mae West yesterday, why not another quote from good old W.C.Fields today? Even though they played together only once (in My Little Chickadee, 1940), I can't think of two actors that better suited one another. Today's quote transcends the 'fun' bit and carries a message that is very true and very relevant.

Nice double entendre, KC.

As regards the quotation, I think I'd substitute "fantasy" for "hysteria", although some would argue that they are the same thing.
