Do not lie to yourself – Dostoevsky

We are currently reading Fyodor Dostoevsky’s The Brothers Karamazov at the University of Dallas. Here is a great morsel of wisdom from the novel:

“Above all, do not lie to yourself. A man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point where he does not discern any truth either in himself or anywhere around him.”
