“Half-truths are worth more than outright lies.”
“half truth can be more harmful than a full lie.”
“I look at the human sciences as poetic sciences in which there is no objectivity, and I see film as not being objective, and cinema verite as a cinema of lies that depends on the art of telling yourself lies. If you’re a good storyteller then the lie is more true than reality, and if you’re a bad one, the truth is worse than a half lie.”
“A lie that is half-truth is the darkest of all lies.”
“A lie is more comfortable than doubt, more useful than love, more lasting than truth.”
“Honesty is more than not lying. It is truth telling, truth speaking, truth living, and truth loving.”
