What further helps to reveal reality is when our personal thinking ceases to take reality for granted.

You are believing not in your god but in yourself if your god knows no better than you do...and yet, in this alone, I am afraid, you have already been fooling yourself.

You can fool yourself, you know. You'd think it's impossible, but it turns out it's the easiest thing of all.

Denial is a swift and deep current beneath the mental landscape.

Even if there are instances in which it can be mistook by onlookers, never fool yourself into using misunderstood genius as an excuse to be a fool.

The worst evil is that most subtle evil. It is the evil that is merely 'base' which is more evil than evil itself. For it is the one closest to righteousness, the one indistinguishable and doused in virtue.
