“There was a distinction between lying and telling half-truths, but it was a very narrow one.”
“A half truth is much worse than a whole lie because it makes it even harder to tell the difference between the two.”
“The man who tells lies hides the truth, but the man who tells half-lies has forgotten where he put it.”
“The difference between a novelist and a historian is this: that the former tells lies deliberately and for the fun of it; the historian tells lies and imagines he is telling the truth.”
“Many lies lie between one truth.”
“I'm a very truthful person, but if the greater good is best served by a lie then I'll tell it.”
