Nothing is easier than self-deceit.
For what every man wishes,
that he also believes to be true.

The truth may hurt once, a lie will hurt everytime it is remembered.

Usually when I can't see the truth about a thing its because I feel more comfortable with the lie...

There's that horrible-beautiful moment, that bitter-sweet impasse where you know that somebody is bullshitting you but they're doing it with such panache and conviction...no, it's because they say exactly what you want to hear, at that point in time.

There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn't true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true.

to seek the truth, you must lie to a liar, & if they believe in your lie, they will tell you the truth.
