PRETENDING TO BE GOOD

There’s only one requirement of any of us, and that is to be courageous. Because courage, as you might know, defines all other human behavior. And, I believe – because I’ve done a little of this myself – pretending to be courageous is just as good as the real thing. – Author: David Letterman

I suppose about the only good in
pretending is the fun we get out of fooling
ourselves that we fool somebody.

We were all too good at pretending to be
normal, like the world would end if
anyone realized who we actually were
inside – Jung Yun

No, it’s not that they’re bad. It’s that they’re obliged
to pretend they’re good. They’ve been brought up to
deceive and be cunning, to protect themselves from
our society. I don’t want to be like that. – Carlos Fuentes

The song “No Fairy Tale” tells my story. Going through the hard things leads to a richer life than just trying to make everything perfect, or worse, pretending things are good when they don’t feel right. I’ve done that more than enough times. – Author: Lisa Loe

Bitterness would do you good. All
that smiling and pretending of
yours would give
me hives. Kristin Hannch-QUOTESTATSCOM
