(no subject)
So I saw this passage in a reading today and it kinda touched me so here goes:
"Falsehood is so easy, truth so difficult. THe pencil is conscious of a delightful facility in drawing a griffin - the longer the claws, and the larger the wings, the better; but that marvellous facility which we mistook for genius is apt to forsake us when we want to draw a real unexaggerated lion. Examine your words well, and you will find that even when you have no motive to be false, it is a very hard thing to say the exact truth, even about your immediate feelings - much harder to say something fine about them which is not the exact truth."
Sorry if that bored you, but it intrigued me. And besides, you didnt have to read it in the first place.
Toodle-loo!
