It's lies. It's all lies. Some of them are just prettier than others, that's all. People see what they think is there.

About This Quote

It’s all lies. Some of them are just prettier than others, that’s all. People see what they think is there. This quote by Maya Angelou is one of the truest things I have ever heard.

It speaks to the fact that people will not see clearly their own faults. And if they do, they will attribute their own faults to someone else. They will not see the truth because they will not want to look at it.

And then they will be angry and twisted in blaming that person for their own problems in life and they will also be angry in blaming that person for their problems in life. And then they will be angry in blaming that person for their problems in life and they will also be angry in blaming that person for their problems in life.
