Exaggeration is inseparable from the passions, and passions are passions only because they do exaggerate.
Exaggeration is at the core of all speaking and of every concept. By speaking, by thinking, we undertake to clarify things, and that forces us to exacerbate them, dislocate them, schematize them. Every concept is in itself an exaggeration.
My wife left me because she said I'm always exaggerating the amount of time I work just so that I don’t have to spend time with herI said, "well, I’d like to see you work twelve days a week, 576 days a year!"

Exaggeration is often necessary. Few new truths have ever won their way against the resistance of established ideas save by being overstated.
I have to exaggerate or I'll die.

I remember when all the other kids would bully me because of the wild exaggerations I’d makeThose were the hardest 400 years of my life.

Exaggeration is so thorough in some people that they can't tell the truth without lying.
