It is my belief, that the truth is generally preferable to lies.
In all truth there is the seed of falsehood.
I’m not upset that you lied to me, I’m upset that from now on I can’t believe you.
I will never lie again.
I want people to walk around delusional about how great they can be – and then to fight so hard for it every day that the lie becomes the truth.
I believe that love of truth is the basis of all real virtue, and that virtues based upon lies can only do harm.
Half the Truth is often a great Lie.
For whom will a woman lie? Sometimes for herself, usually for the man she loves, always for her children.
For my part, if a lie may do thee grace, I’ll gild it with the happiest terms I have.
Fire destroys falsehood, that is sophistry, and restores truth, driving out darkness.[Il foco distrugie la bugia, cioè il sofistico, e rende la uerità, scacciado le tenebre.]
Fiction is the truth inside the lie.
Falsehood is so easy, truth so difficult.
