lying

If you can get others to believe that your random guesses are actual answers, they__l never guess that you never understood the question in the first place.

Remember what I said when I led to Omar and the queen?" I bobbed my head, unable to look away from his jewel-like eyed, shining in the darkness...so much like Chorda's. "That was the lie. Good-bye, Lane," he said and then crept into the darkness.

At first I did not love you, Jude; that I own. When I first knew you I merely wanted you to love me. I did not exactly flirt with you; but that inborn craving which undermines some women's morals almost more than unbridled passion--the craving to attract and captivate, regardless of the injury it may do the man--was in me; and when I found I had caught you, I was frightened. And then--I don't know how it was-- I couldn't bear to let you go--possibly to Arabella again--and so I got to love you, Jude. But you see, however fondly it ended, it began in the selfish and cruel wish to make your heart ache for me without letting mine ache for you.

...the truth was more powerful than a lie could ever be (Eric)

Where there is SMOKE there is usually FIRE. Believe NONE of what you hear and HALF of what you SEE!

Well the other thing about lying is that the liar is banking on two things when telling the lie. They are hoping that the person being lied to is gullible enough to believe, and it__ also not even that they think they are gullible, it__ that they know the person they are lying to well enough that they know the person won__ push it any further because they know the person they are lying to wants to believe the lie.

We accept too damned many things on the explanations of people who could have good reasons for lying.

The opportunity to deceive others is ever present and often tempting, and each instance casts us onto some of the steepest ethical terrain we ever cross. Few of us are murderers or thieves, but we have all been liars. And many of us will be unable to get safely into our beds tonight without having told several lies over the course of the day.What does this say about us and about the life we are making with one another?

You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time.

The truly scary thing about undiscovered lies is that they have a greater capacity to diminish us than exposed ones.

I'm not upset that you lied to me, I'm upset that from now on I can't believe you.

Some people are in such utter darkness that they will burn you just to see a light. Try not to take it personally.

After the woman left, Gran, staring out back at the Zebra Forest, said to me, 'I'm a liar, I'll admit. But I pride myself on being a really good liar. That's part of my educational philosophy, too, Annie B. Mark that down. Lesson one: If you're going to do something, make sure to do it with excellence.

Most of our waking life is make believe. If there was a way to record every dream that crosses our minds, the true nature of humans would be laid bare

You can't pray a lie--I found that out.

They weren't lying. They firmly believed it all. Which doesn't change the facts.

The more you believe, the more you'll be leaving you, when what you believed turns out to be just lies. Or unjust lies. Or any lies, anyway.

Without language, they have no lies. Thus they have no future.
