“Sometimes people need to lie to themselves most of all.”

“...all people needed was time and then they could figure most things out of themselves.”

“After he killed the farmer's daughter, said the monster, the prince lay down next to her and returned to sleep. When he awoke, he acted out a pantomime should anyone be watching. But also, it may surprise you to learn, for himself. The monster's branches creaked. Sometimes people need to lie to themselves most of all.”

“People lie to themselves all the time. If they lie to themselves, how can you expect them not to lie to you?”

“People sometimes need to laugh, relax, and not take themselves so seriously.”

“The most brazen lie of all is the lie people tell themselves: "I have nothing to worry about from the wrath of God. My God is a God of love." If that is your thought, your god is an idol.”
