Protect Ourselves Quotes

“...everybody lies. It’s a necessary coping mechanism. That’s easy for me to forget with the constant voice in my head reminding me of every little transgression, like it’s something unnatural, wrong, and harmful. And sometimes it is. But sometimes, it’s just what we need to do to protect ourselves.”

“I have learnt to hide my true feelings behind a mask of obedience, and sometimes feigned ignorance. It has become a part of my nature, allowing my thoughts to remain my own even if my actions, words and demeanour are often at the command of others. Don’t we all wear masks, either to protect ourselves or to deceive others?”
― Lisa Medved, The Engraver's Secret

“Beliefs are the umbrella that we use to protect ourselves on rainy days.”
― Debasish Mridha
