Where do your greatest dangers lie?--In pity.
Friedrich Nietzsche

Without the errors which lie in the assumption of morality, man would have remained an animal.
Friedrich Nietzsche
-
Emotional sounds don't lie.
Everett McGill
-
Dropt tears have hastened your decay, And brought you one step nigher death; And you have heard, unthrilled, unmoved, The music of Love's golden breath, And seen the light in eyes that loved. You think you hold the core and kernel, Of all the world beneath your crust, Old dial? But when you lie in dust, This vine will bloom, strong, green, and proved. Love is eternal.
Eleanor Farjeon
-
When I make a mistake everyone can see it, but not when I lie.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

From a good lie in the middle of a fairway bunker, I'll make the same swing as I do from an average fairway lie. I'll dig my feet in slightly and keep my lower body stable so I won't slip, but I don't change my club selection or setup. It's only when the ball is sitting down in the sand that I'll make some modifications.
Ernie Els
-
There is a falsehood that some are born with an attraction to their own kind, with nothing they can do about it. They are just 'that way' and can only yield to those desires. That is a malicious and destructive lie. While it is a convincing idea to some, it is of the devil. No one is locked into that kind of life. From our premoral life we were directed into a physical body. There is no mismatching of bodies and spirits. Boys are to become men-masculine, manly men-ultimately to become husbands and fathers. No one is predestined to a perverted use of these powers.
Boyd K. Packer
-
What would it matter if, for the sake of the Christian Church, one were to tell a big lie?
Martin Luther
-
Is it not ignorance that we share? A lie takes two. The truth we find alone.
Anthony Marais
-
We lie under the network of arching shells and live in a suspense of uncertainty. If a shot comes, we can duck, that is all; we neither know nor can determine where it will fall." - All Quiet On The Western Front, Ch. 6
Erich Maria Remarque
-
He who does not lie does not know what truth is.
Friedrich Nietzsche
-
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
-
“Too often have we believed the old lie that says we’re bad, we’re perverted, we’re abominations. But those who spread the lie don’t know. They don’t know how we love, how we hurt, how we live.”
William J. Mann
-
A lie keeps growing and growing until it's as plain as the nose on your face.
Walt Disney
-
Men hate those to whom they have to lie.
Victor Hugo
-
To own beauty is the first lie of it.
Chris Campanioni
-
If there was twenty ways of telling the truth and only one way of telling a lie, the Government would find it out. It's in the nature of governments to tell lies.
George Bernard Shaw
-
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
-
A lie is the abandonment and, as it were, the annihilation of the dignity by man.
Immanuel Kant
-
Loneliness is just a permanent fact of life. And if you buy into the illusion that you can somehow escape it, you’re in for a world of hurt.
Want to know the biggest lie ever written? ’Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.
What an unmitigated pile of shit.
Bart Yates
