“To think what we do not feel is to lie to ourselves, in the same way that we lie to others when we say to others what we do not think.”

Joseph Joubert (1754–1824) French moralist and essayist

Context: To think what we do not feel is to lie to ourselves, in the same way that we lie to others when we say to others what we do not think. Everything we think must be thought with our entire being, body, and soul.
