| Ignorance, self-deception and false consciousness are not taken care of by any techniques of reconciliation. |
| In a situation with widespread deception and self-deception, it is difficult to make the proper judgments. |
| Their most enduring lesson, of course, is in the art of lying and self-deception. |
| The printed word is no match for intransigence and self-deception, however, so the papers keep stacking up as the crisis deepens. |
| It is a sentimental, even mawkish, language, richly mined with hidden menace and self-deceptions. |
| And so we strip away our self-deceptions and the wails we build around ourselves. |
