#distortion

Iubirea e banală. Îți provoacă o intoxicație chimică foarte asemănătoare cu aceea dată de o reușită mult așteptată sau de mersul cu mare viteză. În acele momente, nu mai ținem cont de nimic și ne concentrăm doar asupra propriei noastre delectări; viața de zi cu zi ne este distorsionată și devenim iraționali: ne simțim fericiți și ni se pare că totul este posibil. ↗

الخجل ينبع من توهمك لأهمية مبالغ فيها لنفسك...أنت لست مهماً كما تعتقد..لست مهماً على الإطلاق و ليس هناك شخص متفرغ لمراقبة خلجاتك و أخطاءك..لو أنك أخرجت كسرولة ووضعتها على رأسك فلن يهتم أحد أكثر من ثلاثة دقائق ↗

When distant and unfamiliar and complex things are communicated to great masses of people, the truth suffers a considerable and often a radical distortion. The complex is made over into the simple, the hypothetical into the dogmatic, and the relative into an absolute. ↗

It's not only imagination, it's the distortion of the vision. You suddenly think, This person is idealistic, this person is strong, this person has dreams, when you know better most of the time. You put what you want to see on people. ↗

One of the most powerful devices of poetry is the use of distortions. You can go from talking about the way a minute passes to the way a century passes, or a lifetime. ↗
