Real Simple Lie

Famous quotes containing the words real, simple and/or lie:

    We are in danger ... of making our cities places where business goes on but where life, in its real sense, is lost.
    Hubert H. Humphrey (1911–1978)

    Truth is used to vitalize a statement rather than devitalize it. Truth implies more than a simple statement of fact. “I don’t have any whisky,” may be a fact but it is not a truth.
    William Burroughs (b. 1914)

    No head knows where its rest is
    Or may lie down with reason
    When war’s usurping claws
    Shall take heart escheat....
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)
