The Art of Self Invention by Joanne Finkelstein 

1. "If we examine the lie, consider its purpose and effect,

we are drawn to see other universes, other ways of being in the world.

Thus the lie becomes a technique for penetrating the multiple layers of

social life and, in reverse, it is a constituent of those same complex layers.

As effective social beings, we learn to lie and to identify the lies of

others. Indeed, in the traffic of daily life, we can count on the practice

that everyone lies."

2. Identity is continuously re-styled and invented to suit the

circumstances but, at the same time, it supposedly emanates from an

inner quality that universalizes the human condition.
