Lie Quotes
-
A lie faces God and shrinks from man.
Francis Bacon
-
It's better to live one day on this planet being true to yourself than an entire lifetime which is a lie.
Anthony Venn-Brown
-
Sleep sweetly, tender heart, in peace;
Sleep, holy spirit, blessed soul,
While the stars burn, the moons increase,
And the great ages onward roll.
Sleep till the end, true soul and sweet.
Nothing comes to thee new or strange.
Sleep full of rest from head to feet;
Lie still, dry dust, secure of change.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
-
Above all, avoid lies, all lies, especially the lie to yourself. Keep watch on your own lie and examine it every hour, every minute. And avoid contempt, both of others and of yourself: what seems bad to you in yourself is purified by the very fact that you have noticed it in yourself. And avoid fear, though fear is simply the consequence of every lie. Never be frightened at your own faintheartedness in attaining love, and meanwhile do not even be very frightened by your own bad acts.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
-

Well, I do lie for a living. I'm an actor.
Sarah Wayne Callies
-
A lie is the abandonment and, as it were, the annihilation of the dignity by man.
Immanuel Kant

Columbus's eggs lie around by the hundreds of thousands, but Columbuses are met with less frequency.
Adolf Hitler
-
We have to lie to ourselves to live. Otherwise, we'd go crazy.
Patrick Ness
-
Only simple ideas can be held by large groups of people. Commonly held ideas are almost always dumbed down until they are practically lies... and often dangerous ones. Once vast numbers of people have come to believe the lie, they adjust their own behavior to bring themselves into sync with it, and thereby change the world itself. The world, then, no longer resembles the one that gave rise to the original insight. Soon, a person's situation is so at odds with the world as it really is that a crisis develops, and he or she must seek a new metaphor for explanation and guidance.
Bill Bonner
