The masses have never thirsted after truth. They turn aside from evidence that is not to their taste, preferring to deify error, if error seduce them. Whoever can supply them with illusions is easily their master; whoever attempts to destroy their illusions is always their victim.

Convictions are more dangerous enemies of truth than lies.

We swallow with one gulp the lie that flatters us, and drink drop by drop the truth which is bitter to us.
