Delusions are states of refuge. The mind, unable to comprehend realities or to deal with them, finds its ease in superstitions, beliefs and modes of irrational procedure. It is easier to believe than to think.Garet Garrett (Ch 4 of 'The Driver', 1922)

True. This can be a positive and a negative thing. If someone believes a falsity, it can be difficult to persuade them of the truth. But if someone believes in some truth, but doesn't have the reason, rationality and logic to think out what they believe, it is better to believe in the truth then in nothing.
