A lie twice believed is self decieved

A lie twice believed is self decieved

Summary

This quote suggests that when someone deceives themselves by believing their own lie, it becomes even more detrimental. It emphasizes the danger of not actively questioning and seeking the truth, as duplicity can lead to self-delusion. If someone falls into the trap of believing their falsehoods, they may become trapped in a cycle of misperception, hindering personal growth and understanding. Ultimately, this quote serves as a reminder to be vigilant in discovering the truth rather than succumbing to self-deception.

I think romance is a tool, comedy is a tool and drama is a tool. I really just want to tell stories that challenge the viewer, move people, make you laugh, perhaps push an idea about being open-minded but never settle on a genre or an opinion. I hate genre. I like movies that are original in their approach.

I am responsible for everything except for my very responsibility, for I am not the foundation of my being. Therefore everything takes place as if I were compelled to be responsible. I am abandoned in the world... in the sense that I find myself suddenly alone and without help, engaged in a world for which I bear the whole responsibility without being able, whatever I do, to tear myself away from this responsibility for an instant.
