The world wags on ordsprog
The world wags on with three things: doing, undoing, and pretending
Proverb
The best thing for being sad,” replied Merlyn, beginning to puff and blow, “is to learn something. That is the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then — to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting."

Wags' got great stuff. We know Wags. We love him like a brother. We played together with him for almost 10 years, but when you're competing, you're competing. That means he wants to get you out and we want to win a ballgame.
Craig Biggio
They were all pretending that they were carrying guns. They all were pretending that they had killed in the past. It was a very ugly little situation to be in. If he said he didn't do it, he clearly was in big trouble.
Tim Killeen

Jodi Picoult
I'm not pretending I'm not a nice guy. I'm not pretending I don't have a temper.
James Moore
It's great when somebody comes at you and says, 'We have a big serious movie and we want to hire you because you're a serious person'. Particularly in today's world, when you spend so much of your time pretending that you're not.
Paul Schrader
We cannot get to our knowledge because the world is too loud. And we tend to make it louder as we cry out in pain, pretending we are singing.

[My wife] told me one of the sweetest things one could hear-"I am not jealous. But I am truly sad for all the actresses who embrace you and kiss you while acting, for with them, you are only pretending."

The foundation of all morality is to have done, once and for all, with lying; to give up pretending to believe that for which there is no evidence, and repeating unintelligible propositions about things beyond the possibilities of knowledge.
