“Half of the people lie with their lips; the other half with their tears”

“But fear is confusing. It tears you in two. Half of you wants to run far, far away, but the other half is paralyzed, frozen, immovable. And the hard part is that you never know which half is going to win.”

“I want to end global hunger by feeding half the world’s starving people to the other half.”

“Lies and half-truths hurt not only the liar, but the people they love most.”

“Half the people in the world think that the metaphors of their religious traditions, for example, are facts. And the other half contends that they are not facts at all. As a result we have people who consider themselves believers because they accept metaphors as facts, and we have others who classify themselves as atheists because they think religious metaphors are lies.”

“Half the world is composed of idiots, the other half of people clever enough to take indecent advantage of them”
