  • There is a set of harmless liars, frequently to be met with in company, who deal much in the marvellous. Their usual intention is to please and entertain; but as men are most delighted with what they conceive to be the truth, these people mistake the means of pleasing, and incur universal blame.

    David Hume (2013). “An Enquiry Concerning the Principles of Morals”, p.71, Simon and Schuster
