“This is my perspective and has always been my perspective on life: I have a very grim, pessimistic view of it. I always have, since I was a little boy. It hasn't gotten worse with age or anything. I do feel that it's a grim, painful, nightmarish, meaningless experience, and that the only way that you can be happy is if you tell yourself some lies and deceive yourself.” IfsWayFeelsLittlesAgeLyingViewsBoysPerspectivePainfulMeaninglessDeceivingLittle BoysGrimPessimistic Author:Woody Allen
“Lying is a crime the least liable to variation in its definitions. A child will upon the slightest temptation tell an untruth as readily as the truth. That is, as soon as he can suspect that it will be to his advantage; and the dread that he afterward has of telling a lie is acquired principally by his being threatened, punished, and terrified by those who detect him in it, till at length, a number of painful impressions are annexed to the telling of an untruth, and he comes even to shudder at the thought of it.” ChildrenLyingNumbersCrimeAdvantageDefinitionsPainfulImpressionTemptationLengthSuspectsDreadTerrifiedThreatenedVariationLiableUntruth Book:The Theological and Miscellaneous Works.
