“Is it possible to tell the truth in a society of lies? Or must you always, of necessity, become a liar?”
“It is worse for a liar to tell the truth than for a lover of truth to lie.”
“Sometimes you have to lie. But to yourself you must always tell the truth.”
“It is always the best policy to tell the truth, unless of course you are an exceptionally good liar.”
“And even a liar can be scared into telling the truth, same as honest man can be tortured into telling a lie.”
“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.”
