“People only tell lies when the truth is disagreeable to them, or frightens them, or to cover sin.”
“People only tell lies when there is something they are terribly frightened of losing.”
“There is only one sin. and that is theft... when you tell a lie, you steal someones right to the truth.”
“Once you start thinking about the lies people tell when they don't know they're telling them, the truths people reveal when they think they're lying, then you can start to build a world.”
“For people who say they hate being lied to, just start telling them nothing but the pure truth--about everything. That will teach them”
“Omission is a sin only if, in the process of deceiving, you forget the truth. Lying is a sin only if, in the process, the lie becomes the only truth.”
