"Man makes himself, and he only makes himself completely in proportion as he desacrilizes himself and the world. The sacred is the prime obstacle to his freedom. He will become himself only when he is totally demysticized. He will not be truly free until he has killed the last god."

(Mircea Eliade, antropologo e storico delle religioni; Bucarest, 13 marzo 1907 – Chicago, 22 aprile 1986)
