Lies Quotes (page 7)

Any system which says, This is a rotten world, wait for the next, give up, do nothing, succumb--that may be the basic Lie and if we participate in believing it and acting (or rather not acting) on it we involve ourselves in the Lie and suffer dreadfully... which only reinforces that particular Lie. Philip K. Dick
I have longed to move away. From the hissing of the spent lie. And the old terrors' continual cry. Growing more terrible as the day. Goes over the hill into the deep sea; I have longed to move away. From the repetition of salutes, For there are ghosts in the air. And ghostly echoes on paper, And the thunder of calls and notes. I have longed to move away but am afraid; Some life, yet unspent, might explode. Out of the old lie burning on the ground, And, crackling into the air, leave me... Dylan Thomas
A white lie is not a lie at all. It is where you tell the truth but you do not tell all of the truth. This means that everything you say is a white lie because when someone says, for example, "What do you want to do today?" you say, "I want to do painting with Mrs. Peters," but you don't say, "I want to have my lunch and I want to go to the toilet and I want to go home after school and I want to play with Toby and I want to have my supper Mark Haddon
Let's put one lie to rest for all time: the lie that men are oppressed, too, by sexism-the lie that there can be such a thing as men's liberation groups. Robin Morgan
Champagne, if you are seeking the truth, is better than a lie detector. It encourages a man to be expansive, even reckless, while lie detectors are only a challenge to tell lies successfully. Graham Greene
Mel Gibson quote: "Acting is like lying. The art of lying well. I'm paid to tell..."
Acting is like lying. The art of lying well. I'm paid to tell elaborate lies. Mel Gibson
What I've discovered is that in art, as in music, there's a lot of truth-and then there's a lie. The artist is essentially creating his work to make this lie a truth, but he slides it in amongst all the others. The tiny little lie is the moment I live for, my moment. It's the moment that the audience falls in love. Lady Gaga
Ralph Waldo Emerson quote: "What lies behind you and what lies in front of you, pales in..."
What lies behind you and what lies in front of you, pales in comparison to what lies inside of you. Ralph Waldo Emerson
Benjamin Disraeli quote: "There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics."
There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics. Benjamin Disraeli
Edward W. Howe quote: "Americans detest all lies except lies spoken in public or..."
Americans detest all lies except lies spoken in public or printed lies. Edward W. Howe
There is no lie that a man will not believe; and there is no man who does not believe many lies; and there is no man who believes only lies. John Sterling
I wish to Christ I could make up a really great lie. Sometimes, after an interview, I say to myself, 'Man, you were so honest - can't you have some fun? Can't you do some really down and dirty lying?' But the puritan in me thinks that if I tell a lie, I'll be punished. Willem Dafoe
There are some good people. But a good chunk of them will lie for no reason at all - it'll be ten o'clock and they'll tell you it's nine. You're looking at the clock and you can't even fathom why they're lying. They just lie because that's what they do. John Cusack
Richard Nixon is a no good, lying bastard. He can lie out of both sides of his mouth at the same time, and if he ever caught himself telling the truth, he'd lie just to keep his hand in. Harry S. Truman
One of my weaknesses happens to be lying, and I could tell you that I'm never going to lie again in my life, but that would be a lie. Jayson Blair
