I adore falseness. I don't want you to tell me accurately what happened yesterday. I want you to lie about it, to exaggerate, to entertain me.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie, deliberate, contrived and dishonest, but the myth, persistent, persuasive and unrealistic.
There are some people so addicted to exaggeration that they can't tell the truth without lying.
It is more from carelessness about truth than from intentionally lying that there is so much falsehood in the world.
It's essential to tell the truth at all times. This will reduce life's pain. Lying distorts reality. All forms of distorted thinking must be corrected.
Oh, I love to lie. That's one of my favorite things in the world, coming up to somebody, especially press people, and telling them some enormous lie that couldn't possibly be true.
We have to live today by what truth we can get today and be ready tomorrow to call it falsehood.
Not only do I lie, I take real pleasure in lying, in the transmission of magic effects.
You know I am done lying. Obscuring the truth is no longer something I have any interest in doing. I want it all to come out. The good, the bad, the ugly.
I do not mind lying, but I hate inaccuracy.
I 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 its charms.
