"The liar's punishment is not in the least that he is not believed, but that he cannot believe anyone else."
— George Bernard Shaw

"Anybody who says they are a good liar obviously is not, because any legitimately savvy liar would always insist they're honest about everything. "
— Chuck Klosterman

"Be bad, but at least don't be a liar, a deceiver!"
— Leo Tolstoy (Anna Karenina)

"It is no surprise to me that hardly anyone tells the truth about how they feel. The smart ones keep themselves to themselves for good reason. Why would you want to tell anyone anything that's dear to you? Even when you like them and want nothing more than to be closer than close to them? It's so painful to be next to someone you feel strongly about and know you can't say the things you want to."
— Henry Rollins
