George Henry Lewes quote: "Insincerity is always weakness; sincerity even in error is..."
Insincerity is always weakness; sincerity even in error is strength. George Henry Lewes
We love a good, hyped sound, but when it starts to sound insincere, that's when I lose interest. I hope that our music, even if it sounds polished, doesn't sound insincere. Nate Ruess

Elinor saw, and pitied her for, the neglect of abilities which education might have rendered so respectable; but she saw, with less tenderness of feeling, the thorough want of delicacy, of rectitude, and integrity of mind, which her attentions, her assiduities, her flatteries at the Park betrayed; and she could have no lasting satisfaction in the company of a person who joined insincerity with ignorance; whose want of instruction prevented their meeting in conversation on terms of equality,... Jane Austen

For the canons of good society are, or should be, the same as the canons of art. Form is absolutely essential to it. It should have the dignity of a ceremony, as well as its unreality, and should combine the insincere character of a romantic play with the wit and beauty that make such plays delightful to us. Oscar Wilde
Jane Austen quote: "Miss Bingley's congratulations to her brother, on his..."

Barbara Pym
there are many kinds of sincerity and insincerity. When you say 'thank you' for the salt, do you mean what you say ? No. When you say 'the world is round,' do you mean what you say ? No. It is true, but you don't mean it Gilbert K. Chesterton
George Orwell quote: "The greatest enemy of clear language is insincerity."
The greatest enemy of clear language is insincerity. George Orwell
I actually shivered at the insincerity that gripped me as I spoke these words: their falseness was shameful. I was sure my coolness would return. I'd just been caught with my guard down. But at the moment I was in shambles. Walking along the deck (adopting my old casual swagger), I jollied up the troops with small talk, put on a frozen grin, and kept murmuring to myself with rhythmic fatuity: You love the marine Corps, it's a terrific war, you love the Marine Corps, it's a terrific war... William Styron
Walter Savage Landor quote: "When a cat flatters ... he is not insincere: you may safely..."
When a cat flatters ... he is not insincere: you may safely take it for real kindness. Walter Savage Landor
One has to be insincere and promise something which you cannot fulfill. So you either have to be a fool who does not understand what you are promising, or deliberately be lying. Vladimir Putin
Oscar Wilde quote: "Is insincerity such a terrible thing? I think not. It is..."
Is insincerity such a terrible thing? I think not. It is merely a method by which we can multiply our personalities. Oscar Wilde
Christopher Hitchens quote: "There is, especially in the American media, a deep belief that..."
There is, especially in the American media, a deep belief that insincerity is better than no sincerity at all. Christopher Hitchens
