“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 Dostoyevsky, The Brothers Karamazov

Coming from nowhere, appearing within,
Came a thought born in weakness
It wore a disarming grin
Innocent at first, it seemed to be all true
I believed the thought as it was
There seemed nothing I could do
As in a wild fire, all the facts would burn
Self deception at its best
Makes it impossible to learn
