「嘘には二種類ある。過去に関する事実上の嘘と未来に関する権利上の嘘である。」 (Uso ni wa nishurui aru. Kako ni kansuru jijitsujou no uso to mirai ni kansuru kenrijou no uso dearu.)

「他人が真実を隠蔽することに対して、我々は怒るべきでない。なぜなら、我々も自身から真実を隠蔽するのであるから。」 (Tanin ga shinjitsu wo inpei suru koto ni taishite, wareware wa okorubekidenai. Nazenara, wareware mo jibun kara shinjitsu wo kakusu koto no arukara.)
“We Should Not be Upset that Others Hide the Truth from Us, When We Hide it from Ourselves.”

“Man is an Animal that Makes Bargains: No Other Animal Does This – No Dog Exchanges Bones with Another”

Can’t say that I didn’t see that coming…
