Quotes about delude
1. It is difficult to see ourselves as we are. Sometimes we are fortunate enough to have good friends, lovers or others who will do us the good service of telling us the truth about ourselves. When we don't, we can so easily delude ourselves, lose a sense of truth about ourselves, and our conscience loses power and purpose. Mostly, we tell ourselves what we would like to hear. We lose our way.
- Jon Katz
2. But shortcuts are dangerous; we cannot delude ourselves that our knowledge is further along than it actually is.
- Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, Finding Flow: The Psychology Of Engagement With Everyday Life
