In this age, lies were the universal lubricant of the culture. A love of Truth and commitment to it were seldom rewarded and were often punished.
Dean Koontz
Many years ago someone told me something that I flatly refused to accept. And I still don't accept it now, despite all the times I've seen it proved right."The common good and the individual good rarely coincide..."Sure, I know, it's true.But some truths are probably worse than lies.
Sergei Lukyanenko

Holly Black
The words he said, too, must be human enough to bleed.
Cameron Conaway
the worst thing about being lied to is knowing you weren't worth the truth.
Turcois Ominek
I don't like the word 'allegorical', I don't like the word 'symbolic' - the word I really like is 'mythic', and people always think that means 'full of lies', whereas of course what it really means is 'full of truth which cannot be told in any other way but a story'.
William Golding
Better the comfort of a lie than the absurdity of the truth.
Tanya Huff
I'm planning, you see, to try to confine myself to the truth. That's hard for an old, inveterate fantasy martyr and liar who has never hesitated to give truth the form he felt the occasion demanded.
Ingmar Bergman
You cannot believe everything you hear
Jude Morgan
lies, truth, loveI have always loved truth so passionately that I have often resorted to lying as a way of introducing it into the minds which were ignorant of it's charms.
Giacomo Casanova
Within every elaborate lie, a kernel of truth.
Marisha Pessl
A truth is what it is. A lie, a thought out deception more brutal than a truth could ever be.
Charlotte Armstrong
Lady, I do not make up things. That is lies. Lies are not true. But the truth could be made up if yo know how. And that's the truth.
Lily Tomlin
This, the language of deception, we both understand. We were born to it, along with the curses.
Holly Black
The moment you make someone promise anything is the same moment you ask them to lie to you.
Molly Ringwald
The truth about life and lie about life is not measured by others but by your intuition, which never lies.
Santosh Kalwar
Everyone lies to themselves, but many people do it with good intentions. They want to believe what they tell themselves, it is oftentimes the best possible version of reality for them. Although it may not be accurate, it is a mural of their desires, aspirations, optimism and passion. These people usually either need time or a new experience to discover the truth. People who lie to themselves for different reasons are oftentimes trying to avoid something or escape blame for things they have done.
Ashly Lorenzana
Eyes shows lies.
Toba Beta
He drew the dagger and laid it on the table between them; a length of dragonbone and Valyrian steel, as sharp as the difference between right and wrong, between true and false, between life and death.
George R.R. Martin
His whole life was a sham, a fairy tale. The truth hidden behind a wall of lies, each lie another brick in the wall until he probably couldn't see the truth anymore.
Shaun Jeffrey
Humility is nothing but truth, and pride is nothing but lying.
St. Vincent de Paul
Don’t spoil me with your lies, love me with your truth.
T.F. Hodge
In this treacherous worldNothing is the truth nor a lie.Everything depends on the colorOf the crystal through which one sees it
Pedro Calderón de la Barca
For people who say they hate being lied to, just start telling them nothing but the pure truth--about everything. That will teach them
Seth Adam Brown
Well, it seems to me that there are books that tell stories, and then there are books that tell truths... The first kind, they show you life like you want it to be. With villains getting what they deserve and the hero seeing what a fool he's been and marrying the heroine and happy endings and all that... But the second kind, they show you life more like it is... The first kind makes you cheerful and contented, but the second kind shakes you up.
Jennifer Donnelly
Deceit for personal gain is one of history's most recurring crimes. Man's first step towards change would be thinking, counter-arguing, re-thinking, twisting, straightening, perfecting, then believing every original idea he intends to make public before making it public. There is always an angle from which an absolute truth may appear askew just as there is always a personal emotion, or a personal agenda, which alienates the ultimate good of mankind.
Criss Jami
It is much harder to lie to someone's face.But.It is also much harder to tell the truth to someone's face.
David Levithan
There were a hundred shades between a truth and lie, and she knew them all.
V.E. Schwab
I'd rather hear an ugly truth, rather than an obscure lie.
Ana Monnar
If what he said was the truth, it broke her heart. If what he said was a lie, it was broken anyway.
Christine Feehan
Because even if the lie is beautiful, the truth is what you face in the end.
Lauren DeStefano
A lie, sometimes, can be truer than the truth, which is why fiction gets written.
Tim O'Brien
To know and not to know, to be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully constructed lies, to hold simultaneously two opinions which cancelled out, knowing them to be contradictory and believing in both of them, to use logic against logic, to repudiate morality while laying claim to it, to believe that democracy was impossible and that the Party was the guardian of democracy, to forget whatever it was necessary to forget, then to draw it back into memory again at the moment when it was needed, and then promptly to forget it again: and above all, to apply the same process to the process itself -- that was the ultimate subtlety: consciously to induce unconsciousness, and then, once again, to become unconscious of the act of hypnosis you had just performed. Even to understand the word 'doublethink' involved the use of doublethink.
George Orwell
A lie can run round the world before the truth has got its boots on.
Terry Pratchett
Life's wildest moment---she kneels on the sidewalk. Everything else she does is lies, lies.
Henry Miller
The naked truth is always better than the best-dressed lie.
Ann Landers
,the rest of the girls pretended not to notice. That's just what best friends do.
Sara Shepard
You know there's no such thing as a complete lie. There's always some truth in there.
David Levithan
It is only prudent never to place complete confidence in that by which we have even once been deceived.
René Descartes
the worst part about being lied to is knowing you werent worth the truth
Jean-Paul Sartre
That is the curse of lying, Sister. Once you place that crown of the liar upon your head, you can take it off again, but it leaves a stain for all time.
Terry Goodkind
The truth may be out there, but the lies are inside your head.
Terry Pratchett
Not much music left inside us for life to dance to. Our youth has gone to the ends of the earth to die in the silence of the truth. And where, I ask you, can a man escape to, when he hasn't enough madness left inside him? The truth is an endless death agony. The truth is death. You have to choose: death or lies. I've never been able to kill myself.
Louis-Ferdinand Céline
The great enemy of truth is very often not the lie--deliberate, contrived and dishonest--but the myth--persistent, persuasive and unrealistic. Too often we hold fast to the cliches of our forebears. We subject all facts to a prefabricated set of interpretations. We enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.
John F Kennedy
For Sabina, living in truth, lying neither to ourselves nor to others, was possible only away from the public: the moment someone keeps an eye on what we do, we involuntarily make allowances for that eye, and nothing we do is truthful. Having a public, keeping a public in mind, means living in lies.
Milan Kundera
At times to be silent is to lie. You will win because you have enough brute force. But you will not convince. For to convince you need to persuade. And in order to persuade you would need what you lack: Reason and Right
Miguel de Unamuno
What would happen if one woman told the truth about her life?The world would split open.
Muriel Rukeyser
We all know that Art is not truth. Art is a lie that makes us realize truth at least the truth that is given us to understand. The artist must know the manner whereby to convince others of the truthfulness of his lies.
Pablo Picasso
Convictions are more dangerous foes of truth than lies.
Friedrich Nietzsche
In the end, Leck should have stuck to his lies. For it was the truth he almost told that killed him.
Kristin Cashore
Writing fiction is the act of weaving a series of lies to arrive at a greater truth.
Khaled Hosseini
The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to such a pass that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love, and in order to occupy and distract himself without love he gives way to passions and coarse pleasures, and sinks to bestiality in his vices, all from continual lying to other men and to himself.
Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Better to get hurt by the truth than comforted with a lie.
Khaled Hosseini
I always tell the truth. Even when I lie.
Al Pacino
The truth is always an insult or a joke, lies are generally tastier. We love them. The nature of lies is to please. Truth has no concern for anyone's comfort
Katherine Dunn
Lies are neither bad nor good. Like a fire they can either keep you warm or burn you to death, depending on how they're used.
Max Brooks
The time will come when diligent research over long periods will bring to light things which now lie hidden. A single lifetime, even though entirely devoted to the sky, would not be enough for the investigation of so vast a subject... And so this knowledge will be unfolded only through long successive ages. There will come a time when our descendants will be amazed that we did not know things that are so plain to them... Many discoveries are reserved for ages still to come, when memory of us will have been effaced.
Seneca
One lie has the power to tarnish a thousand truths.
Al David
The truth is messy. It's raw and uncomfortable. You can't blame people for preferring lies.
Holly Black
Lies run sprints, but the truth runs marathons.
Michael Jackson
