Today's quotes explore the deceptive nature of lies, the struggle for truth to prevail, and the ease with which lies can spread.

⊙ Quote of the Day: The Two-Faced Nature of Lying

Every lie is two lies, the lie we tell others 

and the lie we tell ourselves to justify it.

- Robert Brault -

This quote by American author and philosopher Robert Brault delves into the complexity of lying, highlighting its dual nature. Brault suggests that every lie consists of two parts: the lie we tell others and the lie we tell ourselves to justify it. This observation sheds light on the tendency for individuals to deceive not only others but also themselves. It serves as a poignant reminder of how we often resort to self-deception to rationalize our actions or circumstances. Titled Quote of the Day: The Two-Faced Nature of Lying,' this statement serves as a powerful warning about the pervasive nature of self-deception and its impact on our beliefs and behavior.
