  3. Fyodor Dostoyevsky _ The Brothers Karamazov

    Above all, avoid lying, especially lying to yourself. Keep watching out for your lies, watch for them every hour, every minute.

Never be afraid of your petty selfishness when you try to achieve love and don't be too alarmed if you act badly on occasion.
