Danh ngôn của Steven Pinker
When people talk, they lay lines on each other, do a lot of role playing, sidestep, shilly-shally and engage in all manner of vagueness and innuendo. We do this and expect others to do it, yet at the same time we profess to long for the plain truth, for people to say what they mean, simple as that. Such hypocrisy is a human universal.

Khi mọi người nói chuyện, họ xếp hàng với nhau, đóng nhiều vai, lảng tránh, ngớ ngẩn và tham gia vào mọi kiểu mơ hồ và bóng gió. Chúng ta làm điều này và mong đợi người khác làm điều đó, nhưng đồng thời chúng ta lại tuyên bố mong muốn sự thật rõ ràng, để mọi người nói ra điều họ muốn nói, đơn giản chỉ vậy thôi. Đạo đức giả như vậy là phổ biến của con người.
