“No one forgets the truth; they just get better at lying.”

“Alanna didn't approve of lying, but in a pinch a lie was sometimes better than the truth.”

“Don't forget that few people are likely to tell more than a small part of the truth: no one tells much of the truth, let alone the whole truth. Spoken words are facts in themselves, whether true or false. When people talk they reveal themselves, whether they're lying or telling the truth.”

“I’m neutral on lying, seeing as how there’s times when the truth just hurts people.”

“Such is human memory… you forget the truth and believe what makes you feel better.”

“It is [a politician's] business to get and hold his job at all costs. If he can hold it by lying, he will hold it by lying; if lying peters out, he will try to hold it by embracing new truths. His ear is ever close to the ground.”

“But better to get hurt by the truth than comforted with a lie.”

“Some people try to get out of jury duty by lying. You don't have to lie. Tell the judge the truth. Tell him you'd make a terrific juror because you can spot guilty people [snaps fingers] just like that!”

“First stop lying, then start speaking the truth.”

“It’s better to be sworn to an honest fool than to a lying scholar”
