Quote needed - not of the mechanical variety.

[Little Red]

I'm looking for a quote to add to a piece of writing I'm doing for Uni. Basically something that conveys: 'No matter what your actions are, I know you are hiding your true thoughts & feelings about the matter under discussion.' Tall order I know, but typing that little lot into google has come up with nada! Basically I am arguing that someones actions are totally transparent.

You are all intelligent bods, here on PH (grovel grovel) Can anyone help? I’ll need an official source for the quote as I will need to give it a reference in the finished piece of work.

Thanks In advance.

Been up to my eye balls in study and assignments. Someone told me education was a good idea. I may have to kill them

get a dictionary of quotations, the subject matter is cross referenced in the index at the back. in your case id try 'disingenuous'.

Disingenious : Not straightforward or candid; insincere or calculating: “an ambitious, disingenuous, philistine, and hypocritical operator, who... exemplified... the most disagreeable traits of his time” (David Cannadine).


You sir are a genius!

Hmm, interesting how about:

"Body language doesn't lie"
or
"Truth and words are not good bed fellows"
or
"First lesson in politics"
or
"Hypocricy - the normal human condition"
or
"A popular hypocrite is a contradiction in terms"
or
"Think and speak - and make it the same"

While the hands may labour truthfully, the face shows nothing but lies

seriously, you must be a first year . . . look up on amazon for a book that vaguely resembles your subject matter, reference it, and make the quote up yourself. bob's your uncle



for added authenticity, make sure your uni doesnt have the book you reference in any electronic databases

This is indeed another stroke of genius. I am a first year and as yet unschooled in the ways of deceiving that faculty. I feel that may be changed if I stay here

Anyway, I’ve found an ancient and obscure book in a local second hand book shop. I can’t find it anywhere on the University database.... It's actually so old the pages are crumbling! So I'll use that. Bloody hell, trawling the net I even found an obscure sociologist that seems to agree with my argument.

“Dr Paul Allison suggests that although on the surface people display an air of indifference when confronted with their actions or beliefs, it is seldom their true judgment they are showing.”

Similarly

“Ervin Goffman has convincingly argued that in every society individuals consciously play roles and wear Social masks in public spaces to avoid showing their genuine feelings of anger, offence and their innate fears”

And someone told me university was going to be hard?

Alternatively, although a bit extreme, you could use creative thinking and come up with an original idea.
