Quote by Tad Williams

We tell lies when we are afraid... afraid of what we don't know, afraid of what others will think, afraid of what will be found out about us. But every time we tell a lie, the thing that we fear grows stronger.

We tell lies when we are afraid... afraid of what we don't k

Summary

This quote suggests that people resort to lying out of fear. It states that fear of the unknown, fear of judgment from others, and fear of being discovered motivate individuals to be dishonest. However, the quote reminds us that lying only reinforces these fears, making them more powerful. Thus, the quote implies that honesty is a better approach, as it breaks the cycle of fear and allows us to confront our fears directly.

Friendship Never explain -- your friends do not need it, and

Friendship Never explain -- your friends do not need it, and your enemies will not believe it anyway. A real friend never gets in your way, unless you happen to be on the way down. A friend is someone you can do nothing with and enjoy it. However much we guard ourselves against it, we tend to shape ourselves in the image others have of us. It is not so much the example of others we imitate, as the reflection of ourselves in their eyes and the echo of ourselves in their words.
