You want to hear a sob story, I will tell you a sob story. I have just found out that my wife has been lying to me. Every morning she says she’s gonna leave me, and when I come home at night she’s still there.[to Del Boy and Rodney]
When I lie to you, you’ll never know it, and it will be for a good reason.
Truth or lies have very little to do with the law.
There’s a way people tend to speak and behave when they lie.
There is no big lie. There is no system. The universe is indifferent.
The trick is, you use the truth when you wanna tell a lie.
The media don’t care if it’s lies, as long as there’s a good story.
The lies caught up to all of us, man. I tried to hide from it. Make it legit, run away from it. This is who I am. I can’t change.[to Nero]
That’s our world now, Will. We lie to everyone. We lie to our friends and our colleagues and our family. We lie out of fear. We lie to protect ourselves.
Telling you half a story is not the same as lying.
Sometimes you have to lie to people in order to motivate them. Like your promotion or your sabbatical.[to Dr. Wolf]
Someone telling the truth is gonna vary their responses, but a liar is gonna feed you the same line over and over because they’re hiding something.
