Lies

"The cruelest lies are often told in silence."

- ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON, 

Virginibus Puerisque

"There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics."

- MARK TWAIN,

Autobiography

"He who permits himself to tell a lie once, finds it much easier to do it a second and third time, till at length it becomes habitual; he tells lies without attending to it, and truths without the world's believing him. This falsehood of the tongue leads to that of the heart, and in time depraves all its good dispositions."

- THOMAS JEFFERSON, 

leter to Peter Carr, 

Aug. 19, 1785

"And, after all, what is a lie? 'Tis but The truth in masquerade."

- LORD BYRON, 

Don Juan
