“Above all, don't lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love.”
― Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov

“If you do not tell the truth about yourself you cannot tell it about other people.”
― Virginia Woolf

“If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.”
― Mark Twain

“A truth that's told with bad intent
Beats all the lies you can invent.”
― William Blake, Auguries of Innocence
