I Speak The Truth Quotes (page 3)
Don't forget that we lawyers, we're a higher breed of intellect, and so it's our privilege to lie. It's as clear as day. Animals can't even imagine lying: if you were to find yourself among some wild islanders, they too would only speak the truth until they learned about European culture.
Yevgeny Zamyatin

Believe me, Krasotkin, such buffoonery is sometimes extremely tragic.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
