The fact that so many successful politicians are such shameless liars is not only a reflection on them, it is also a reflection on us. When the people want the impossible, only liars can satisfy.

Thomas Sowell

The best liars lie with their eyes rather than with their words. This might put writers at a disadvantage.

Joanna Scott

All writers are liars. They twist events to suit themselves. They make use of their own tragedies to make a better story... They are terrible people.

Nina Bawden

What politicians want and what creative writers want will always be profoundly different, because I'm afraid all politicians, of whatever hue, want propaganda, and writers want the truth, and they're not compatible.

David Hare

All my life I've dealt with politicians. I know politicians better than anybody. And honestly, if you can't deal with a politician, there's something wrong with you.

Donald Trump

And I think musicians can better run this state than politicians. And, hell, beauticians can better run the state than politicians.

Kinky Friedman

I believe you [Donald Trump] know politicians better than I do because for 40 years you've been funding liberal Democratic politicians.

Ted Cruz

Fact-checking doesn't exist primarily because some of us are liars and cheats. It exists because writers will be writers, much as they may mean to be historians.

Alice Dreger

Actors are good liars; writers are good liars with good memories.

Daniel Keys Moran

There are three kinds of liars: liars, damned liars, and statisticians

Mark Twain

All politicians are bores and liars and fakes. I talk to people.

Martha Gellhorn

Start telling the stories that only you can tell, because there'll always be better writers than you and there'll always be smarter writers than you. There will always be people who are much better at doing this or doing that - but you are the only you.

Neil Gaiman

I know politicians - I know politicians, believe it or not, better than you [Ted Cruz] do. And it's not good.

Donald Trump

A pretty girl is better than a plain one. A leg is better than an arm. A bedroom is better than a living room. An arrival is better that a departure. A birth is better than a death. A chase is better than a chat. A dog is better than a landscape. A kitten is better than a dog. A baby is better than a kitten. A kiss is better than a baby. A pratfall is better than anything.

Preston Sturges

Writers, all the good ones, are Natural Born Liars.

Daniel Keys Moran

Both politicians and journalists face situations which strain their honesty and humanity. My opinion is that politicians on the average stand up somewhat better than journalists.

John McCarthy
