“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

“The best lies about me are the ones I told.”
― Patrick Rothfuss, The Name of the Wind

“Reality denied comes back to haunt.”
― Philip K. Dick, Flow My Tears, the Policeman Said

“There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn't true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true.”
― Soren Kierkegaard
