A little bit late, but Merry Christmas from minion Bob! We visited the ever changing Hosier Lane on the weekend and spotted these gems:

| We swallow greedily any lie that flatters us but we sip only little by little at a truth we find bitter - Denis Diderot |

I love the last quote by philosopher Denis Diderot... How nice it is to hear a flattering lie than to ponder over a miserable truth. Look, I know my arms are huge and there's nothing much I can do about it other than starve the rest of my body to whittle my arms away... so let's not ponder over that.. But how nice it is hear a flattering white lie about how slim I look in that outfit...
(I'm sure Diderot penned his quote with other examples in mind... but let's keep it light here, shall we?)
