“Without deception, sexual attraction isn’t possible. Men deceive women in many ways, and women deceive men on a whole different, god-like level. It’s not just makeup. It’s something far much greater. Many women try to play dumb, lest the man get scared of their intellectual abilities. Many women fake flexibility when it comes to opinions, as they know many men aren’t accepting of a highly opinionated woman. It’s a multitude of things with women. Whereas with men, things are quite simple. They just have to portray that they are the most sorted out guys, will be good providers, and know what they are doing in their lives. Putting it in a nutshell, both men and women deceive each other. But after a few months of marriage, the veil of deception is lifted. The woman who once seemed timid suddenly begins to voice her concerns. The woman who once seemed flexible suddenly begins to assert her unpopular opinions and impose her will. Men disappoint too. The woman realizes her guy isn’t as sorted out as he pretended to be. All in all, only when people start living together do they come to know of their partners for real. No wonder why so many love marriages end up in divorce within a year.”
― Abhaidev, The World's Most Frustrated Man

“Guilt is an outward expression of self degradation. It is acceptance of one’s culpability, indiscretion, liability, sin, dereliction, and harm without resolving the crime, violation, or wrong. Guilt desires to remain hidden, hence, the paying for confessions to alleviate responsibility. Where shame separates you from social and cultural obedience, guilt brings you closer to the deceiver such as religion. Guilt is dancing with the devil and calling yourself good.”
― Deborah Bravandt

“Pinto recalled in his memoirs after the war that Waelti, who was actually a Dutchman, "did not look like a very dangerous figure, sitting opposite me, hunched up and apprehensive. But then spies very often don't look sinister; it is their ability to blend with the crowd that makes them so dangerous".”
― Robert Verkaik, The Traitor of Arnhem: The Untold Story of WWII's Greatest Betrayal and the Moment that Changed History Forever

“So much contempt for your own species."

"Yes, contempt! If you had seen what I have seen, watched what a human may become when left alone in the dark, you would share it. You were lucky, Jaghatai. Your world was no Caliban. We tell you of Old Night and you barely believe us, but that is not how most places were. The lie is noble. It is there to protect, to guard, not to deceive, for they are not ready."

I have heard this before. There were empires on my homeworld that offered freedom to their slave castes, but only when they were ready. That moment, strangely enough, never came. In the end, they had to take it for themselves, to die for it, and even then there were some who said the day had come too soon. The truth will come out. You won't be able to hold the blindfold in place, and once it slips, the fury of those you deceived will be limitless.”
― Chris Wraight, Jaghatai Khan: Warhawk of Chogoris

“Whenever you find yourself saying what is the point when it comes to the matters of heart? Be careful of the spirit of deception.”

“In the last days, a great deception will sweep the earth, as the anti-Christ spirit spreads its lies and deceit, convincing many that God is a myth. The lure of human wisdom and knowledge will draw people away from the truth, causing them to abandon their faith and turn their backs on the Lord. As prophesied, a great falling away will occur, leaving only a remnant of true believers who hold fast to God's Word and refuse to be swayed by the false promises of the enemy.”
― Shaila Touchton

“Scripture reminds us that 'every man is a liar' (Psalm 116:11), and Jesus said, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life' (John 14:6). God's truth is the final authority, and we must anchor our beliefs in His unchanging Word. Just as the legal system recognizes that those with mental illness may not be reliable witnesses, we too must discern between subjective beliefs and objective truth. Let's seek the truth that sets us free, not the lies that bind us. May we hunger for God's truth and seek it.”
― Shaila Touchton
