Notable quotes

““You’re sincere enough.” She laughed shortly. “Heaven protect the human race from the sincere idealist!””
— Algis Budrys, Some Will Not Die (1961), Chapter 5
“Our natures are, indeed, elusively insubstantial — notoriously less stable and less inherent than the natures of other things. And insofar as this is the case, sincerity itself is bullshit.”
— Harry Frankfurt, On Bullshit, Princeton University Press (2005)
“To seek sincerity above all things is perhaps, at bottom, not to want to be transformed; it is to cling to yourself, to have a morbid love of yourself, just as you are, that is to say, false. It is to refuse release.”
— Henri de Lubac, Paradoxes of Faith (San Francisco: Ignatius Press, 1987), p. 127
“[Rousseau], [t]he man who would be sincere is unconsciously insincere. This confirms the supposition I began with: that a contradiction exists between self-consciousness and sincerity. To be conscious of a self, vis-a-vis other selves, is already to expose that self to corruption.”
— Herbert Read (1968). 20th Anniversary Issue. "The Cult of Sincerity." The Hudson Review, 21(1), 53–74. doi:10.2307/3849512, p. 66
“Of all the evil spirits abroad at this hour in the world, insincerity is the most dangerous.”
— James Anthony Froude, Short Studies on Great Subjects, Education
“The surest, as the shortest way, to make yourself beloved and honored, is to be, indeed, the very man you wish to appear.”
— Socrates, p. 554
