“In a world of lies and liars, an honest work of art is always an act of social responsibility.”
“When treating with liars, even an honest man must lie.”
“She looks honestly upset, but then, I’ve learned that I can’t read her. The problem with a really excellent liar is that you have to just assume they’re always lying.”
“The search for scapegoats is essentially an abnegation of responsibility: it indicates an inability to assess honestly and intelligently the true nature of the problems which lie at the root of social and economic difficulties and a lack of resolve in grappling with them.”
“And even a liar can be scared into telling the truth, same as honest man can be tortured into telling a lie.”
“Anybody who says they are a good liar obviously is not, because any legitimately savvy liar would always insist they're honest about everything.”
