== Leo Tolstoy on lying to oneself and its consequences on the ability to discern truth ==
<br />
[[File:Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoyevsky 1876.jpg|thumbnail|400px|center|“Above all, don't lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love.” - [[Fyodor Dostoevsky]] ]]
