Lies

Famous quotes containing the word lies:

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

    It took nine years, and a great depression, and two wars ending in defeat, and one surrender without war, to break my faith in the benign power of the press. Gradually I came to realize that people will more readily swallow lies than truth, as if the taste of lies was homey, appetizing: a habit.
    Martha Gellhorn (b. 1908)

    Where lies the Land to which yon Ship must go?
    William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
