Self-deception Quotes

People lie to themselves in order to protect themselves from the things they do. From what they think and feel.

I tell myself I will not go
Even as I drive there.

Copy quote

The easy part is taking yourself in,
It's wartime every time.
Shot away.

— I'm sorry. Who are you?
— I'm The Boss.
— I thought he was The Boss.
— Why? Do we look alike? So, Mr. Fisher, you were gonna tell me something?
— I don't know. You brought me here.
— Yes, I did, but back when you thought I was him.
— I never thought you were him, I thought he was you.

That whatever mistakes we make down here, the alternative would be ten times worse.

My reflection, dirty mirror,
There's no connection to myself.
I'm your lover, i'm your zero.
I'm the face in your dreams of glass.
So save your prayers
For, when you're really gonna need 'em.

Now all of my nightmares
Are comin' true
And I've seen beyond the darkest side, of the moon
I've walked In the shadows
But how do I run?
From monsters In the mirror that I'm afraid that I've become
