“People think that a liar gains a victory over his victim. What I’ve learned is that a lie is an act of self-abdication, because one surrenders one’s reality to the person to whom one lies, making that person one’s master, condemning oneself from then on to faking the sort of reality that person’s view requires to be faked…The man who lies to the world, is the world’s slave from then on…There are no white lies, there is only the blackest of destruction, and a white lie is the blackest of all.” PeopleThinkingMenWorldPersonsSelfRealityTruthLyingWhiteViewsMastersVictoryGainsDestructionVictimSlaveOneselfSurrenderI've LearnedLiarsCondemningWhite LieLies And LiarsAbdication Book:Atlas Shrugged Source: Atlas Shrugged
“For what can be more noble than to slay oneself? Not literally. Not with a blade in the guts. But to extinguish the selfish self within, that part which looks only to its own preservation, to save its own skin. That, I saw, was the victory you Spartans had gained over yourselves. That was the glue. It was what you had learned and it made me stay, to learn it too.” LooksMadeSelfSawsVictorySkinsOneselfNobleSelfishGutsPreservationBladesGlue Author:Steven Pressfield
