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
Quotations
Lie
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
Half of the people lie with their lips; the other half with their tears.
-Nassim Nicholas Taleb
No man should talk one way with his lips and think another way in his heart.
-The Talmud
"Baba Metzia 49"
