“Maggie, we're through with lies and liars in this house. Lock the door.”

“If your wife locks you out of the house, you don't have a problem with your door.”

“Clearly, [President Bush] lied. Now if he is an unconscious liar, and doesn't realize when he's lying, then we're really in trouble.”

“The way the neurotic sees it: bars on his door mean that he's locked in; bars on your door mean that he's locked out.”

“Unscrew the locks from the doors!
Unscrew the doors themselves from their jambs!”

“The visionary lies to himself, the liar only to others.”

“The supervision of the state extends to the lock upon the door, and there begins mine own. The lock is the boundary line between the power of the government and my own private power. It is the intention of locks to make possible self-protection. In my own house my person is sacred and inviolable even to the government. In civil cases government has no right to attack me in my house, but must wait till I am upon public ground.”

“If there's a locked door, I start to make up all kinds of stories about what might be behind it. I feel like it's some kind of secret, and it leads to me making up lies. But if all the doors are open, physically and metaphorically, there's only the one truth.”

“We're all liars when it serves our purpose.”

“A man who lies to himself is the worst liar of all.”
