Terry Pratchett

This quote was added by meg_guzman
I'm not stupid. You're saying humans need fantasies to make life bearable? No. Humans need fantasy to be human. To be the place where the falling angel meets the rising ape. Tooth fairies? Hogfathers? Yes. As practice. You have to start out learning to believe the little lies. So we can believe the big ones? Yes. Justice. Mercy. Duty. That sort of thing.

There are single word sentences, but not sentences broken up into individual words with periods after them. A hogfather is the Discworld version of Santa, more or less.

Why. Are. We. Talking. Like. This...? And what is a Hogfather?
