Not only do I lie, I take real pleasure in lying, in the transmission of magic effects.

I don't do much lying in real life because I don't get away with it.

Lying is the most simple form of self-defence.

I'd rather not have anything than be a liar.

Our aversion to lying is commonly a secret ambition to make what we say considerable, and have every word received with a religious respect.

What is it in people, or just in people like me, that would rather let a lie go by, would rather wish it away or minimize it, than point it out and cause the liar embarrassment?

I won't tolerate lying.
