by some margin the most poetically written of this selection . Cheers, Filip

There is nothing so annoying as to have two people go right on talking when you're interrupting.
Guess.
a couple from John Steinbeck writing in "East of Eden"
Talking about Salinas Valley, California...
"It was an unlikely place for a man from a green country to come to, but he came about thirty years before the turn of the century and he brought with him his tiny Irish wife, a tight hard little woman humorless as a chicken."

'Humorless as a chicken.' XD
First time I have read that metaphor, although I do think chicken can occasionally act funny xD. The second one in essence saying the glass is half full . I like them both. Cheers, Filip

A bit late to the game
"Give a man a mask and he will show his true face"
Oscar Wilde....though I believe it was also the Joker too.
I particularly like
You may deceive all the people part of the time, and part of the people all the time, but not all the people all the time."

Now why would you like this quote?
I am not in favour of ever trying to deceive people.
Lol, not his, my post above.
I thought his remark was aimed at one of my quotes in original post! Apologies, Filip
:),
This is how the sequence of events happened, as simply described as possible:
1. Cpt. A. posted his questioning answer. This for some reason, even though it was made to someone else's post, showed up in my unanswered responses tab.
2. I open my unanswered responses tab and see Cpt. A's question and instinctively think it is regarding Soren Kierkegaard's quote in my original post. Confusingly, both myself and Mr. Choupette posted quotes about deception
.
3. I then proceed to answer Cpt. A's question as if it were made to me. As soon as the answer is posted and the view goes to full thread I realize that his question was actually made to someone else! I then immediately proceed to delete my comment, and since I cannot delete my own post, mark the post for deletion by typing the sentence above.
Hope that made things easier to comprehend, apologies for the mutual confusion caused by the software settings!

I think....
it is a rather objective statement . It in no way encourages deception. Cheers, Filip

It was just a question
It is a quotation about deceiving people so i was just asking why you liked it. No need to feel a problem.
