From the song 'The Great Pretender':

Oh-oh, yes I'm the great pretender,
Adrift in a world of my own.
I've played the game but to my real shame,
You've left me to grieve all alone.

Too real is this feeling of make-believe,
Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal.

Yes I'm the great pretender,
Just laughin' and gay like a clown.
I seem to be what I'm not, you see,
I'm wearing my heart like a crown,
Pretending that you're still around.

"Let me tell you a secret, which ought not to be a secret, seeing it is written in the Scriptures--be honest and your whole body will be full of light; and this of every kind; you will actually see further and see clearer than shrewd and cunning men, and you will be less liable to be duped than they, provided that your honesty be combined with a determination to protect honesty, and to discountenance every kind of brand."
- Edward Irving, Sermons, Lectures and Occasional Discourses: vol. 2
