“A law of life: at the precise instant when someone tells a truth, that truth is transformed into a story”
“Sarcasm is when you tell someone the truth by lying on purpose.”
“When you tell a lie, you steal someones right to the truth.”
“Language always betrays us, tells the truth when we want to lie, and dissolves into formlessness when we would most like to be precise.”
“Tell the truth, or someone will tell it for you.”
“All children mythologise their birth. It is a universal trait. You want to know someone? Heart, mind and soul? Ask him to tell you about when he was born. What you get won’t be the truth: it will be a story. And nothing is more telling than a story.”
