“A man who lies to himself, and believes his own lies, becomes unable to recognize truth, either in himself or in anyone else, and he ends up losing respect for himself and for others.”
— Fyodor Dostoevsky
Simplified Meaning:
When a person keeps lying to themselves and starts believing those lies, they can't tell what is true anymore, about themselves or others, and they start losing respect for both themselves and other people.
