I knew he was unreliable, but he was fun to be with. He was a child’s ideal companion, full of surprises and happy animal energy. He enjoyed food and drink. He liked to try new things.

He always counseled daring, in whatever situation, the courage to test the unknown, an... E. L. Doctorow
...we should all fortify ourselves against the dark hours of depression by cultivating a deep distrust of the certainties of despair. Despair is relentless in the certainties of its pessimism. But we have seen again and again, from our own experience and others', that absolute statements of hopelessness that we make in the dark are notoriously unreliable.

Franz Kafka quote: "First impressions are always unreliable."
First impressions are always unreliable. Franz Kafka

People under seventy and over seven are very unreliable if they are not cats. Leonora Carrington
When I began to write our story down, I thought I was writing a record of hate, but somehow the hate has got mislaid and all I know is that in spite of her mistakes and her unreliability, she was better than most.
