Deceived Quotes
-
The world loves to be deceived.

Lord Byron
-
Whenever any one informs us that he has found a man who knows all the arts, and all things else that anybody knows, and every single thing with a higher degree of accuracy than any other man - whoever tells us this, I think that we can only imagine him to be a simple creature who is likely to have been deceived by some wizard or actor whom he met, and whom he thought all-knowing, because he himself was unable to analyse the nature of knowledge and ignorance and imitation.
Socrates

Don't cry, I'm sorry to have deceived you so much, but that's how life is.
Vladimir Nabokov

There is nothing more necessary than truth, and in comparison with it everything else has only secondary value. This absolute will to truth: what is it? Is it the will to not allow ourselves to be deceived? Is it the will not to deceive? One does not want to be deceived, under the supposition that it is injurious, dangerous, or fatal to be deceived.
Friedrich Nietzsche

William Shakespeare

Mankind has tried the other two roads to peace - the road of political jealousy and the road of religious bigotry - and found them both equally misleading. Perhaps it will now try the third, the road of scientific truth, the only road on which the passenger is not deceived. Science does not, ostrich-like, bury its head amidst perils and difficulties. It tries to see everything exactly as everything is.
Garrett P. Serviss
-
No, no, I am but shadow of myself: You are deceived, my substance is not here.
William Shakespeare

Dissimulation was his masterpiece; in which he so much excelled that men were not ashamed of being deceived but twice by him.
Edward Hyde, 1st Earl of Clarendon
-
