Famous quotes containing the word fictitious:

    “It is, indeed, at home that every man must be known by those who would make a just estimate either of his virtue or felicity; for smiles and embroidery are alike occasional, and the mind is often dressed for show in painted honour, and fictitious benevolence.”
    —Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
