― Kurt Vonnegut, Mother Night
False friends, sometimes also called frenemies, are people who pretend to be a friend and then turn out to be just the opposite.

METALLICA
“Is it a small thing to quench the flames of hell with the holy tears of pity — to unbind the martyr from the stake — break all the chains — put out the fires of civil war — stay the sword of the fanatic, and tear the bloody hands of the Church from the white throat of Science?
Is it a small thing to make men truly free — to destroy the dogmas of ignorance, prejudice and power — the poisoned fables of superstition, and drive from the beautiful face of the earth the fiend of fear?”
― Robert G. Ingersoll
A session of boasting won’t attract any real friends. It will set you up on a pedestal, however, making you a clearer target.”
― Richelle E. Goodrich
Tell me what you brag about and I’ll tell you what you lack.
