One ought to have a good memory when he has told a lie.

Memory is often less about the truth than about what we want it to be.

No man has a good enough memory to be a successful liar.

The 'politics of memory' policy appears to work largely by insinuation.

Memory is a fiction we tell ourselves: just a piece of the truth.

I've actually got quite a good memory. I've good recall. It's often things which other people might not notice.

Human memory is short and terribly fickle.

It is fitting that a liar should be a man of good memory.

I have memories - but only a fool stores his past in the future.

Unless a man feels he has a good enough memory, he should never venture to lie.
