'I don't do superstition.'

'Because I'm big enough to face up to reality without a security blanket.'

I'm sorry if it's not enough for you, but it's all I've got.

No logical reasoning then?

Oh, bless you, yes.
Very nearly a lifetime's worth.
Not a whole lifetime's worth, because for the first few years, I didn't
understand a lot of stuff, and for the next few years I took what teachers
parents and some others said as being 'right'.
Then I got to thinking about stuff and questioning those teachers, parents
and others, and started making up my own mind about stuff.
Oh, my spats and codpiece, yes, lots, veritable oodles of logical thinking.
  Far too much to go into it all here.
