“As a means for the preserving of the individual, the intellect unfolds its principle
powers in dissimulation, which is the means by which weaker, less robust individuals
preserve themselves-since they have been denied the chance to wage the battle for
existence with horns or with the sharp teeth of beasts of prey, This art of dissimulation
reaches its peak in man. Deception, flattering, lying, deluding, talking behind the
back, putting up a false front, living in borrowed splendor, wearing a mask, hiding
behind convention, playing a role for others and for oneself-in short, a continuous
fluttering around the solitary flame of vanity-is so much the rule and the law among
men that there is almost nothing which is less comprehensible than how an honest and
pure drive for truth could have arisen among them. They are deeply immersed in
illusions and in dream images; their eyes merely glide over the surface of things and
see "forms." Their senses nowhere lead to truth; on the contrary, they are content to
receive stimuli and, as it were, to engage in a groping game on the backs of things.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, On Truth and Lies in a Nonmoral Sense
