Involuntary Speech

Famous quotes containing the words involuntary and/or speech:

    How often our involuntary facial motions testify to the thoughts we were keeping secret, and betray us to those around!
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    Lying increases the creative faculties, expands the ego, lessens the friction of social contacts.... It is only in lies, wholeheartedly and bravely told, that human nature attains through words and speech the forebearance, the nobility, the romance, the idealism, that—being what it is—it falls so short of in fact and in deed.
    Clare Boothe Luce (1903–1987)
