Summary

This quote suggests that the consequence of being a liar is not solely about losing trust and credibility from others. Instead, the liar's punishment lies in their inability to trust others. By habitually deceiving others, the liar becomes skeptical and unable to place genuine belief or trust in anyone. In essence, their actions have eroded their own capacity to trust, leading to a sense of isolation and distrust in all relationships, ultimately damaging their own emotional well-being.

Much good art got made while money ruled I like a lot of it,

Much good art got made while money ruled I like a lot of it, and hardship and poverty aren't virtues. The good news is that, since almost no one will be selling art, artists - especially emerging ones - won't have to think about turning out a consistent style or creating a brand.
