Quotations
Lie
The best revenge on a liar is to convince him that you believe what he said.
-Nassim Nicholas Taleb
A liar lies to himself as well as to the gods. Lying is the origin of all evils; it leads to rebirth in the miserable planes of existence, to breach of the pure precepts, and to corruption of the body.
-Maharatnakuta Sutra 27
I am a lie who always speaks the truth.
-Jean Cocteau
I never lie because I don't fear anyone. You only lie when you're afraid.
-John Gotti
I never lie because I don't fear anyone. You only lie when you're afraid.
-Robert Brault
Hiding how you really feel and trying to make everyone happy doesn't make you nice, it just makes you a liar.
-Jenny O'connell
"The Book of Luke"
If you lie to me, keep lying; don’t hurt me by suddenly telling the truth.
-Nassim Nicholas Taleb
The trouble with lying and deceiving is that their efficiency depends entirely upon a clear notion of the truth that the liar and deceiver wishes to hide. In this sense, truth, even if it does not prevail in public, possesses an ineradicable primacy over all falsehoods.
-Hannah Arendt
Half of the people lie with their lips; the other half with their tears.
-Nassim Nicholas Taleb
