exaggeration

As a comedian, the more you commit the sin of stupidity, three essential things happen to your life:~people applaud you incessantly.~love you more than their parents.~give you a daily bread.

People add color to their story because they think it happened in black and white.

The exaggerated dopamine sensitivity of the introvert leads one to believe that when in public, introverts, regardless of its validity, often feel to be the center of (unwanted) attention hence rarely craving attention. Extroverts, on the other hand, seem to never get enough attention. So on the flip side it seems as though the introvert is in a sense very external and the extrovert is in a sense very internal - the introvert constantly feels too much 'outerness' while the extrovert doesn't feel enough 'outerness'.

I imagine the whole universe moving into hell because of licking God's candy.

Don't, Sir, accustom yourself to use big words for little matters.

You maintain hope for humanity as an infinite skeptic of gossip and slander. In all mankind's desires for entertainment and exaggeration and sensationalism, when it comes to gossip, the individual always sounds worse than he really is. This is why adhering to gossip subtly affects the mental state of the listener - he goes on holding shady opinions regardless of where the realities of their lights and darknesses may stand.

The hype cheapens the hyped, as right things are then made wrong by exaggeration.

That's how it is with legends. The greater they sound, the more must've got left out.

Within every elaborate lie, a kernel of truth.

Maybe that's what writers do-Maybe they exaggerate pain just so that you feel okay about what you're feeling.

You can believe in whatsoever you like, but the truth remains the truth, no matter how sweet the lie may taste.

Long books, when read, are usually overpraised, because the reader wishes to convince others and himself that he has not wasted his time.

Artists use frauds to make human beings seem more wonderful than they really are. Dancers show us human beings who move much more gracefully than human beings really move. Films and books and plays show us people talking much more entertainingly than people really talk, make paltry human enterprises seem important. Singers and musicians show us human beings making sounds far more lovely than human beings really make. Architects give us temples in which something marvelous is obviously going on. Actually, practically nothing is going on.

Every woman with her own makeup!

Whenever we want to combat our enemies, first and foremost we must start by understanding them rather than exaggerating their motives.

The power of a thing is not based on the power it actually possesses. Rather, it is much more about the power that we permit it to possess.

We have glorified wealth and freedom so much that it is impossible for most of us to truly believe that a man can truly be happy in a shack or within the confines of a prison cell.

The more you exaggerate, the more you will look funny!
