Governments lie; bankers lie; even auditors sometimes lie: gold tells the truth.

William Rees-Mogg

The best lie is often one too ridiculous to be taken for a lie.

Robert Jordan

Suppose whether or not someone tells me a lie depends only on whether he wants to, but he is morally indifferent, he doesn't care much about the truth or about me, and his self interest, which he worships, tells him to lie, and so it comes about that given his psychology, it is a forgone conclusion that he will lie to me. I think in this case he is still blameworthy, and that implies, among other things, that he did something he ought not do.

Nomy Arpaly

If a person, in a position of authority, wants someone to believe a lie, usually all they have to do is tell it to them. If they want someone to believe a ridiculous lie, all they have to do is tell it to them enough.

Derek R. Audette

Some of the best moments I've ever written have come about because someone, somewhere, blew my preconceptions out of the water and dropped a detail in passing that took the work in an entirely new, entirely unexpected, direction.

Greg Rucka

The problem is, your ego sometimes tells you that you can do many things. But sometimes it's best to stay focused and be honest with yourself.

Sylvester Stallone

Even a liar tells a hundred truths to one lie; he has to, to make the lie good for anything.

Henry Ward Beecher

As a young man with celebrity parents I yearned to ignore my heritage (or, more precisely, have other people ignore my famous parents) and "make it" in my chosen career entirely on my own merit (which of course never happens, you're always found out).

Chris Hart

What I will NOT do is pretend someone isn't present who is. I believe that is why I am so vocal and confrontational when there is a problem, because I will not ignore a problem and or people. It actually takes more energy to physically ignore someone.

Kenya Moore

A lie to get out of something, or take an advantage for oneself, that’s one thing; but a lie to make life more interesting—well, that’s entirely different.

Diana Vreeland
