Kindle Notes & Highlights
In most cases, people, even wicked people, are far more naive and simple-hearted than one generally assumes. And so are we.
In the realist, faith is not born from miracles, but miracles from faith.
A man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point where he does not discern any truth either in himself or anywhere around him, and thus falls into disrespect towards himself and others. Not respecting anyone, he ceases to love, and having no love, he gives himself up to passions and coarse pleasures, in order to occupy and amuse himself, and in his vices reaches complete bestiality, and it all comes from lying continually to others and to himself.
