"Mentir à nous-mêmes est plus profondément enraciné que mentir aux autres."
— Fyodor Dostoevsky

Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, people lie to themselves without even realizing it. It's easier for us to believe false things about ourselves or ignore uncomfortable truths. For instance, someone might tell themselves they're happy in a job they actually dislike because they're afraid of change or failure. This self-deception can stop us from making positive changes in our lives. If we want to grow and improve, it's important to be honest with ourselves first. By facing the truth, even if it's hard, we can make better choices and lead a more fulfilling life.
