“We all need someone to draw off the demonic in us. We still need someone to blame, someone on whom we can project our own fears and phantoms. How often have we hear a parent say, “that child will be the death of me!” Or one marriage partner say of another, “I should have known from the day we were married that this person would destroy my life.” Betrayal begins when love blames.”

–Ray Anderson, The Gospel According to Judas, p. 32-33
