1 " Remember, any lie you are told, even deliberately, is often a more significant fact than a truth told in all sincerity. "
― Halldór Laxness , Under the Glacier
2 " …We had spiritually marked ourselves. This marking began…when the counterculture of political correctness began, and the assault on Christian values and traditions began. At first it seemed so ridiculous that it was harmless, kind of like a disease to which we were all immune. Soon, however, it was recolored to equal compassion, fairness, acceptance, tolerance, and equality. From there it evolved into a power with the ability to take any truth and repaint it as a lie, to take any lie and relabel it as truth. "
― John Pontius
3 " A responsible step in loosening the grip of any lie we might be living is to ask ourselves, solemnly and seriously, this momentous question: " Might I be in the wrong?" What gives this question its power? The answer can be stated very simply: Just to ask the question seriously, even without answering it, is already to undergo a change of attitude. "
4 " The tricky part of any lie is trying to figure out how you'd behave if you were innocent. "
― Sue Grafton , H is for Homicide (Kinsey Millhone, #8)
5 " But I know newspapers. They have the first amendment and they can tell any lie knowing it's a lie and they're protected if the person's famous or it's a company. "
6 " We swallow greedily any lie that flatters us, but we sip only little by little at a truth we find bitter. "
― Denis Diderot
