Friedrich Nietzsche
“The visionary lies to himself, the liar only to others.”
Friedrich Nietzsche

Erik Pevernagie
“If we only live by the fickle code words of the moment and don’t grasp that today’s truth is not the same as tomorrow’s truth, we remain victims of chronic self-deception. ("Was it all worthwhile?")”
Erik Pevernagie
