“Mundus vult decipi'—the world wants to be deceived. To live without deception presupposes standards beyond the reach of most people whose existence is largely shaped by compromise, evasion and mutual accommodation. Could they face their weakness, their vanity and selfishness, without a mask?”
― Abraham Joshua Heschel

“The film is the first art form capable of demonstrating how matter plays tricks on man.”
― Walter Benjamin

“Sometimes people don’t want the truth. Sometimes the truth is worse than a lie.”
― Chelsea Cameron

“The prevarication and white lies which a mind that keeps itself ambitiously pure is as uneasy under as a great artist under the false touches that no eye detects but his own, are worn as lightly as mere trimming when once the actions have become a lie.”
― George Eliot, Silas Marner
