“A man who lies to himself, and believes his own lies, becomes unable to recognize truth, either in himself or in anyone else, and he ends up losing respect for himself and for others. When he has no respect for anyone, he can no longer love, and in him, he yields to his impulses, indulges in the lowest form of pleasure, and behaves in the end like an animal in satisfying his vices. And it all comes from lying — to others and to yourself.”
The Karamazov Brothers • Fyodor Dostoevski“In short, if newspapers were written by people whose sole object in writing was to tell the truth about politics and the truth about art we should not believe in war, and we should believe in art.”

Studies in Pessimism • Arthur Schopenhauer“Almost all studies of child development emphasize the role of childhood stimulation and activity in promoting mental development, and stress the irreversible mental stunting associated with reduced childhood stimulation.”
Guns, Germs And Steel • Jared Diamond, Ph.D. (UCLA)“Golf is a game in which you try to put a small ball in a small hole with implements singularly unsuited to the purpose.”
Never Give In! • Winston S Churchill
