Quote by Maya Angelou

A bizarre sensation pervades a relationship of pretense. No truth seems true. A simple morning's greeting and response appear loaded with innuendo and fraught with implications. Each nicety becomes more sterile and each withdrawal more permanent.


A bizarre sensation pervades a relationship of pretense. No

Summary

This quote describes the strange and unsettling atmosphere that surrounds a fake relationship. In such a situation, there is a constant sense of dishonesty and deception, causing one to question the authenticity of everything said or done. Even a seemingly innocent interaction like exchanging morning greetings feels charged with hidden meanings and potential consequences. This leads to emotional detachment, making every superficial nicety feel empty, while each moment of pulling away from the pretense feels more permanent.
