1 " People think that a liar gains a victory over his victim. What I’ve learned is that a lie is an act of self-abdication, because one surrenders one’s reality to the person to whom one lies, making that person one’s master, condemning oneself from then on to faking the sort of reality that person’s view requires to be faked…The man who lies to the world, is the world’s slave from then on…There are no white lies, there is only the blackest of destruction, and a white lie is the blackest of all. "
― Ayn Rand , Atlas Shrugged
2 " A white lie is not a lie at all. It is where you tell the truth but you do not tell all of the truth. This means that everything you say is a white lie because when someone says, for example, " What do you want to do today?" you say, " I want to do painting with Mrs. Peters," but you don't say, " I want to have my lunch and I want to go to the toilet and I want to go home after school and I want to play with Toby and I want to have my supper "
