Sometimes, even lies are truth.

(Vatchi): There are probably hundreds of people in mental hospitals who think they're Jesus or Napoleon Bonaparte. Why anyone, including Ted, would believe that they were Jim, Sotto, is beyond my comprehension, but insanity has a way of doing that. I can't say that I blame you for doubting some of what Jim says, Sotto. He was a blackout drinker. Sometimes I think you have to give people the benefit of the doubt. But I believe that belief can never be complete, that there will always be some shred of doubt. Mother Teresa, speaking in religious terms, struggled with doubt of her faith in God for years.

    Suicide Bombers- there's beyond the shadow of a doubt for you, Sotto.

    Sometimes, even lies are truth.
