"Tarzan and the Madman"

Tarzan is talking with a man slightly less primitive than the tribe he rules and fools:

"But why should I deceive the people?" asked Tarzan.

"You will not be deceiving them. They will deceive themselves."

"To what purpose?" demanded the ape-man."

"Because it is easy to control the common people through their superstitions," explained da Serra. "It is for their own good; and, furthermore, it pleases them to have a god. He tells him what to do, and they believe him."
