Quotations
Lie
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"
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
I am a lie who always speaks the truth.
-Jean Cocteau
Always telling the truth is no doubt better than always lying, although equally pathological
-Robert Brault
Do not assert with your mouth what your heart denies.
-Yin Chih Wen
Half of the people lie with their lips; the other half with their tears.

Every lie is two lies — the lie we tell others and the lie we tell ourselves to justify it.
-Robert Brault
I never lie because I don't fear anyone. You only lie when you're afraid.
-Robert Brault
Am I lying to you if I tell you the same lie I tell myself?
-Robert Brault
