If you lie to me, keep lying; don’t hurt me by suddenly telling the truth.
-Nassim Nicholas Taleb
Quotations
Lie
Every lie is two lies — the lie we tell others and the lie we tell ourselves to justify it.
-Robert Brault
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 never lie because I don't fear anyone. You only lie when you're afraid.
-John Gotti
