“A good liar knows that the most efficient lie is always a truth that has had a key piece removed from it.”
“Lies and half-truths hurt not only the liar, but the people they love most.”
“Is it possible to tell the truth in a society of lies? Or must you always, of necessity, become a liar?”
“All liars ... lie to protect themselves, to shield their egos from the raw pain of truth.”
“That's what you get for telling the truth. Someone calls you a liar. Most people will accept a likely lie to an unlikely truth. In fact, they prefer it.”
“It is always the best policy to tell the truth, unless of course you are an exceptionally good liar.”
