The world is a stage, but the play is badly cast.
Perhaps one never seems so much at one's ease as when one has to play a part.
Is insincerity such a terrible thing? I think not. It is merely a method by which we can multiply our personalities.
It was often easier to give a show than to watch one.
I always feel happy
In the places where I can be sincere,
Where I can blend into the crowd
And may not pretend to be someone else.
Kazaritsukenaide ikite yuku koto wa kono yo no ichiban
Muzukashii koto?
To beguile the time,
Look like the time; bear welcome in your eye,
Your hand, your tongue; look like the innocent flower,
But be the serpent under it.
No one knows what it's like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes
No one knows what it's like
To be hated
To be fated
To telling only lies
