“When a liar became too skilled at deception, he could lose the ability to discern the truth, and could himself be more easily deceived.”
“Just because something isn't a lie does not mean that it isn't deceptive. A liar knows that he is a liar, but one who speaks mere portions of truth in order to deceive is a craftsman of destruction.”
“A man is never more truthful than when he acknowledges himself a liar.”
“A truth is what it is. A lie, a thought out deception more brutal than a truth could ever be.”
“Especially difficult when the first and best unconscious move of a dedicated liar is to persuade himself he's sincere. And once he's sincere, all deception vanishes.”
“As long as he deceived himself about the truth, he could blame fortune and have confidence in the future. Now the clouds of madness were closing round his mind.”
