Fakes Quotes

“See, Biff, everybody around me is so false that I'm constantly lowering my ideals...”
― Arthur Miller, Death of a Salesman

“For all these stars,
nothing is new.
They’ve seen all kinds of wars
and miracles, too.

They know the messengers with their holy books
will smile and wash their hands in blood.
They know the politicians with their good looks
will make the poor eat pies of mud.

They’ve seen the Earth freeze
and then burn with greed.
They’ve seen the trees
and the seas emptied.

Yet, you won’t hear their sneers
when a man arrives
and, having experienced a number of years,
proclaims: 'I have lived!'

Because nothing is new under these stars:
the lies, the love, the memories and scars,
the ruin, the revolution, the fakes and true,
the families, the friends, none of it is new.
All of it—even the me and you.”
― Kamand Kojouri

“The sieves of time filter out the fakes from the real.
Don't look back for them they were filtered out for
your refinement”
― Wordions

“Rapacity plus taste is a formidable combination, since it so often passes for intelligence. One pities the artist in a world of such predators, all of whom are deeply engaged in the arts too.”
― Gilbert Sorrentino, Imaginative Qualities of Actual Things

“The Sieves of time, filter out the fakes from the real.
Don't look back for them, they were filtered out for
your refinement.”
― Wordions

“Despite all of our incessant tinkering, we can’t manufacture the things we most desperately need. And if perchance we do, they will never be more than pathetically emaciated facsimiles that will leave us emaciated. And until we finally realize that we can only ‘find’ these things, we will never sense any compulsion to ‘find’ God.”
― Craig D. Lounsbrough

“...the frantic desire for the Almost Real arises only as a neurotic reaction to the vacuum of memories; the Absolute Fake is offspring of the unhappy awareness of a present without depth.”
― Umberto Eco, Travels in Hyperreality

“News about fakes is fake news.”
― Brian Spellman, We have our difference in common 2.

“When fakes and charlatans twist the words of true thinkers, religious texts & intelligent human beings to meet or defend their own demented, violent and greedy ends they should for the good of society be charged with the crime of "petty pathetic douchebaggary"and be publicly shamed. Unfortunately, this would make felons of most of our society's billionaires, corporations and politicians currently taking advantage of the gullibility of our own citizens. This isn't knowledge or any form of enlightenment but the abuse of it.”
― R M. Engelhardt

“If you're a fake, be careful; I am the king of fakes.”
― Ehsan Sehgal
