Quotation

Earlier in the week while reading my book I came across several interesting quotes and lines that appeared while Sybil Quatermaine was reading through a box of Pilgrims’ journals which were given to him. This quote was found on a page in Pilgrims’ journal dates ‘2:00 a.m. Sunday, 1^st December, 1901’. The quote says “Pilgrim – even though you may think you know them by heart. Everyone is a liar – one way or another – to one degree or another. No one can tell the truth about themselves. It is quite impossible. Some things must always be justified. Always, something must be justified.” There are several reasons why I find this quote interesting. One is the date, at the top of the page in his journal it is dated in ‘1901’ and it is almost impossible that Pilgrim as alive at that time, let alone a full grown man. The second reason why I find this quote so interesting is because everyone can relate to it one way or another throughout life experiences. There is not a single person that at some point in their life has not lied, whether it is for a good reason or a bad one everyone has still lied. Also, another thing the quote says that is very true is talking about justification. We always feel the need to explain/justify ourselves in everything we do. This quote is so interesting to me because it is, in every way, completely true.
