Quotations
Lie
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.
-H. L. Mencken
"A Little Book in C Major"
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
We tell lies when we are afraid... afraid of what we don't know, afraid of what others will think, afraid of what will be found out about us. But every time we tell a lie, the thing that we fear grows stronger.
-Robert Paul “Tad” Williams
I never lie because I don't fear anyone. You only lie when you're afraid.
-Robert Brault
When you lie, tell big lies because in the big lie, there is always a certain force of credibility.
-Adolf Hitler
If you lie to me, keep lying; don’t hurt me by suddenly telling the truth.
-Nassim Nicholas Taleb
A lie is just the truth waiting to be itself.
-Terri Guillemets
Half of the people lie with their lips; the other half with their tears.
-Nassim Nicholas Taleb
Am I lying to you if I tell you the same lie I tell myself?
-Robert Brault
