The lie, the perfect lie, about people we know, about the relations we have had with them, about our motive for some action,
the lie as to what we are,
who m we love, what we feel with regard to people who love
us. . .
that lie is one of the few things in the world that can
open windows for us on to what is new and unknown, that can
awaken in us sleeping senses for the contemplation of universes
that otherwise we should never have known.
Proust, The Captive
