I'm not in a position to tell anyone anything about how to live his or her life, but I think it's worth noting that no one can lie to us as effectively as we can lie to ourselves.

- Victoria Hanley
#Lie
You can look at my books and not find particular joy on every page because, of course, what you want to write about is the difficulty of the human experience.

- Andrew Sean Greer
#Lie

The idea that murder victims' families are best served by continuing the cycle of violence is something that I consider to be not only a lie, but criminally negligent.

#Lie
If you're truly depicting human behavior in an honest way, it is a lot of miscommunication, non-communication, paranoia, passive aggressiveness. People don't finish sentences. They don't say what they mean. They lie to each other. They take credit for things that are actually other people's ideas.
- Terence Winter
#Lie
