“A lie is just a great story that someone ruined with the truth.”
“…a lie, once uttered, changes reality just as surely as if it were a great truth.”
“There's a part of a book that never lies. A writer puts his soul into a book. Every word is two sides of a coin - one side is the lie, the story, the other is the truth, the insight. You can judge someone by the story they tell.”
“The truth of the story lies in the details.”
“Truly, to tell lies is not honorable;but when the truth entails tremendous ruin,to speak dishonorably is pardonable.”
“Lies are just stories, and stories are all that matter. We all tell stories. Some are more truthful than others, maybe, but in the end the only thing that counts is what you can make people believe.”
