“Lying, the telling of beautiful untrue things, is the proper aim of Art.”

The Decay of Lying • Oscar Wilde

“I must have a prodigious quantity of mind; it takes me as much as a week sometimes to make it up.”

The Innocents Abroad • Mark Twain

“Keeping up appearances, living in borrowed finery, wearing masks, the drapery of convention, play-acting for the benefit of others and oneself ... the constant fluttering of human beings around the one flame of vanity is so much the rule and the law that there is virtually nothing which defies understanding so much as the fact that an honest and pure drive towards truth should ever have emerged in them. They are deeply immersed in illusions and dream-images; their eyes merely glide across the surface of things and see 'forms'; nowhere does their perception lead to truth.”

The Gay Science • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche

“An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile — hoping it will eat him last.”

Never Give In! • Winston S Churchill

“Nobody never gets to heaven, and nobody gets no land. It’s just in their head.”

Of Mice and Men • John Steinbeck
