Elena Gorokhova
“The rules are simple: they lie to us, we know they're lying, they know we know they're lying, but they keep lying to us, and we keep pretending to believe them.”
Elena Gorokhova, A Mountain of Crumbs

Criss Jami
“Never hide things from hardcore thinkers. They get more aggravated, more provoked by confusion than the most painful truths.”
Criss Jami

Jeanne Birdsall
“...even a tiny bit of deceit is dishonorable when it's used for selfish or cowardly reasons.

- Mr. Penderwick”
Jeanne Birdsall, The Penderwicks on Gardam Street

Nancy Werlin
“No. It's actually not okay. And I hate when people say that, when they say it's okay even though it's not. It's better to tell the truth.”
Nancy Werlin, The Rules of Survival
tags: lying

Nancy Farmer
“I always say the truth is best even when we find it unpleasant. Any rat in a sewer can lie. It's how rats are. It's what makes them rats. But a human doesn't run and hide in dark places, because he's something more. Lying is the most personal act of cowardice there is.”
Nancy Farmer, The House of the Scorpion
