Quotations
Lie
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

-Hannah Arendt
Convictions are more dangerous enemies of truth than lies.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
A lie is just the truth waiting to be itself.
-Terri Guillemets
Always telling the truth is no doubt better than always lying, although equally pathological
-Robert Brault
I am a lie who always speaks the truth.
-Jean Cocteau
It is hard to believe that a man is telling the truth when you know that you would lie if you were in his place.
