Appearance
December 10, 2014 / /
The world is governed more by appearance than realities so that it is fully as necessary to seem to know something as to know it.
We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.
If you pretend to be good, the world takes you very seriously. If you pretend to be bad, it doesn’t. Such is the astounding stupidity of optimism.
