“Every violation of truth is not only a sort of suicide in the liar, but is a stab at the health of human society.”

“Is it possible to tell the truth in a society of lies? Or must you always, of necessity, become a liar?”

“Suicide is a fundamental human right. This does not mean that it is desirable. It only means that society does not have the moral right to interfere, by force, with a persons decision to commit this act. The result is a far-reaching infantilization and dehumanization of the suicidal person.”

“It was suicide, wasn't it?""In an involuntary sort of way," said Vorob'yev. "These Cetagandan political suicides can get awfully messy, when the principal won't cooperate.""Thirty-two stab wounds in the back, worst case of suicide they ever saw?" murmured Ivan, clearly fascinated by the gossip."Exactly, my lord.”

“Truth is not only violated by falsehood;it may be outraged by silence.”

“A liar only uses the truth when they want their lies to sound truthful.”
