When a man is an upright contender, only real people are bound to be around; but if he is a downright pretender, then fake people surround and always abound to be found.

Be not who you’re not

The steady soul and the ego pretender / walk with their arms round each other’s shoulders / through the mirage.

When we perceive aliens as a joke to be laughed at,they feel so pity for us on the success of their plans.
