We are only falsehood, duplicity, contradiction; we both conceal and disguise ourselves from ourselves.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We cannot forever hide the truth about ourselves, from ourselves.
Time passes, and little by little everything that we have spoken in falsehood becomes true.
We know how to speak many falsehoods that resemble real things, but we know, when we will, how to speak true things.
False thinking and false ideologies, dressed in the most pleasing forms, quietly - almost without our knowing it - seek to reduce our moral defenses and to captivate our minds. They entice with bright promises of security, cradle-to-grave guarantees of many kinds.
Falsehood is invariably the child of fear in one form or another.
It is astonishing what force, purity, and wisdom it requires for a human being to keep clear of falsehoods.
Nothing so completely baffles one who is full of trick and duplicity himself, than straightforward and simple integrity in another.
All deception in the course of life is indeed nothing else but a lie reduced to practice, and falsehood passing from words into things.
We are so accustomed to disguise ourselves to others that in the end we become disguised to ourselves.
The false is nothing but an imitation of the true.
