The human condition is all about us pretending to be something sometimes that we're not. When you get into the core of people kind of stripping all of that away, that's for me, as an actor, always the most fun stuff to do.
Charlize Theron
Image
All mortals tend to turn into the thing they are pretending to be. This is elementary
C. S. Lewis
Image
The art of good decision making is looking forward to and celebrating the tradeoffs, not pretending they don't exist.
Seth Godin
Image
He actually listened, rather than pretending to listen while waiting a suitable interval before it was his time to talk again.
Laini Taylor

What’s the difference between spending your life trying to be invisible, or pretending to be the person you think everyone wants you to be? Either way, you’re faking.
Jodi Picoult
Image
The worst crime I could think of would be to pull people off by faking it, pretending as if I'm having 100% fun.
Kurt Cobain
Image
Don't go on pretending to be someone you are not
Sizzla
Image
And I would do it again. I love you, Jace Wayland-Herondale-Lightwood-whatever you want to call yourself. I don't care. I love you and I will always love you, and pretending it could be any other ways is just a waste of time.
Cassandra Clare
Image
I think the Republican budget priorities are messed up. I salute for the way they're attacking some of the entitlement programs, but they are taking huge cuts, by pretending they're just block-granting it to the states, out of Medicaid, from the least fortunate.
David Brooks
Image
She still remembered sitting for hours as a little girl and pretending to be a hassock. A foot stool. Because if she could just stay very small, and very quiet, her mother would forget she was there, and then she wouldn't scream about people and places and things that had gone wrong.
Eloisa James

It's fine to pretend that people are one-dimensional, like in body size the problem comes when you forget that you are just pretending.
L. Todd Rose
Image
I can't help comparing what I have with Gale to what I'm pretending to have with Peeta. How I never question Gale's motives while I do nothing but doubt the latter's. It's not a fair comparison really. Gale and I were thrown together by a mutual need to survive. Peeta and I know the other's survival means our own death. How do you sidestep that?
Suzanne Collins
Image
The key to mostly anything is pretending your first time isn't.
Jonathan Lethem
Image
What I love about the theatre is that it's always metaphorical. It's like going back to being a kid again, and we're all pretending in a room. Sometimes, when the pretending really works, I find it much, much more moving than something on film.
Mark Haddon
Image
It is not the conservative psyche that needs analysis. Conservatives were right in the Cold War --so right that liberals are pretending they were with us all along -- and they are right about Iraq. It is Leftists who need to account for their consistently disgraceful positions throughout the Cold War and into the War on Terror.
David Limbaugh
Image
I'm pretending to be a vegetarian. Were I not, I believe I probably still wouldn't eat a wallaby.
Kevin Moffett
Image
I was trying to replace something I'd come to care about very much with something pretending to be as important.
Megan Hart
Image
Then how come everyone's making like everything that isn't important is very important, all the while they're so busy pretending what's really important isn't important at all?
Janne Teller
Image
I just like a good, honest personality. I like a real person, not somebody who is pretending to be something that they're not. That really annoys me.
Lara Stone
Image
Some people have a difficult time facing truth and reality. They prefer to live in a make-believe world, pretending that certain things aren't happening.
Joyce Meyer
Image
I think women are foolish to pretend they are equal to men, they are far superior and always have been.
William Golding
Image
The whole world is pretending the breakthrough is in technology. The bottleneck is really in art.
Penn Jillette
Image
The thing with pretending you're in a good mood is that sometimes you can actually trick yourself into feeling better.
Charles de Lint
Image
Hypocrisy is not a way of getting back to the moral high ground. Pretending you're moral, saying your moral is not the same as acting morally.
Alan Dershowitz
