truth-and-lies

I'm right and wrong, moral and immoral, good and bad, a hero and a villain, and I've been just as capable of truth as I have been lies.

We don't lie to protect the other person. We lie to protect ourselves from the consequences. We lie because we don't want to deal with our own feelings. We lie because we don't want things to change. Not by our hand. So a wall starts to build.

Nobody wants to be a part of your story. Everybody wants you to elaborate on their fantasies.

A half-truth is even more dangerous than a lie. A lie, you can detect at some stage, but half a truth is sure to mislead you for long.

It's better to be ignorant and live in bliss than know the truth and live in agony.

Being the soothsayer of the tribe is a dirty job, but someone has to do it.

Lies can't grow. Once plucked they can only wither. But every truth, once planted, grows into a tall, noble tree._

Don't lie to protect my feelings. I'd rather you speak the truth with love and respect. I'll be fine!

Perception is reality to the one in the experience.
