Aldous Huxley

A person who has never lied because their tongue is cut out is not what we hope to become when we strive for honesty.

Isaac Morehouse

Monday quote

It is one of the innumerable shallow phrases of the modern and mercantile peace, that when people are sincere they should not be attacked. Why, it is exactly because they are sincere that they should be attacked. If a man pretends to be your wife’s previous and lawful husband, you can laugh at him as at any other amusing fraud. If he really believes that he is, you will take prompt action to prevent his acting on his belief.

GK Chesterton. Illustrated London News, 12 September 1914.
