Lies

Famous quotes containing the word lies:

All over America, and the fact that some of them are true of course
Doesn’t so much not matter as serve to justify
The whole mad organizing force under the billows of correct delight.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)

“Good lies need a leavening of truth to make them palatable.”
—William McIlvanney (b. 1936)
