Lies Quotes

The success of any trap lies in its fundamental simplicity. The reverse trap by the nature of its single complication must be swift and simpler still Picture Quote #1

Purring is not so different from praying. To a tree, a cat’s purr is one of the purest of all prayers, for in it lies a whole mixture of gratitude and longing, the twin ingredients of every prayer Picture Quote #1

Lady, I do not make up things. That is lies. Lies are not true. But the truth could be made up if yo know how. And that’s the truth Picture Quote #1

We are trying to communicate that which lies in our deepest heart, which has no words, which can only be hinted at through the means of a story. And somehow, miraculously, a story that comes from deep in my heart calls from a reader that which is deepest in his or her heart, and together from our secret hidden selves we create a story that neither of us could have told alone Picture Quote #1

The secret of success in battle lies often not so much in the use of one’s own strength but in the exploitation of the other side’s weaknesses Picture Quote #1

Human beings want to know too much abut each other, and that’s why there are so many lies Picture Quote #1

…I go through a story for lies. I might discover the lie of trying to show off. Sometimes they’re lies of character. Sometimes they are lies of writing the most beautiful sentence in the world that has nothing to do with the story Picture Quote #1

It’s the same questions we ask of our existence, and the answer is always the same. The mystery lies not in the question nor the answer, but in the asking and answering themselves, over and over again, and the end is engendered in the beginning Picture Quote #1

In all great works of fiction, regardless of the grim reality they present, there is an affirmation of life against the transience of that life, an essential defiance. This affirmation lies in the way the author takes control of reality by retelling it in his own way, thus creating a new world. Every great work of art, I would declare pompously, is a celebration, an act of insubordination against the betrayals, horrors and infidelities of life. The perfection and beauty of form rebels against the ugliness and shabbiness of the subject matter Picture Quote #1

Lies were lethal, however honourable the intentions of the liar. They deprived people of the opportunity to know the basic facts of their own lives Picture Quote #1

If my work has a theme, I suspect it is a simple one: that most human beings are inescapably alone, and therein lies their tragedy Picture Quote #1

How we fall into grace. You can’t work or earn your way into it. You just fall. It lies below, it lies beyond. It comes to you, unbidden Picture Quote #1

I have written letters that are failures, but I have written few, I think, that are lies. Trying to reach a person means asking the same question over and over again: Is this the truth, or not? I begin this letter to you, then, in the western tradition. If I understand it, the western tradition is: Put your cards on the table Picture Quote #1

Lies are neither bad nor good. Like a fire they can either keep you warm or burn you to death, depending on how they’re used Picture Quote #1

Only the right name gives beings and things their reality. A wrong name makes everything unreal. That’s what lies do Picture Quote #1

No matter where your interest lies, you will not be able to accomplish anything unless you bring your deepest devotion to it Picture Quote #1

People never explain to you exactly what they think and feel and how their thoughts and feelings work, do they? They don’t have time. Or the right words. But that’s what books do. It’s as though your daily life is a film in the cinema. It can be fun, looking at those pictures. But if you want to know what lies behind the flat screen you have to read a book. That explains it all Picture Quote #1

It seemed there was no end at all to the lies a person could tell, once she got started Picture Quote #1

I notice the silvery hair at his temples with a tinge of sadness. Why do parents grow old? Life is a castle of lies slowly dismantled by the passage of time. I regret not spending more time looking at the people I love Picture Quote #1

All stories are lies. But good stories are lies made from light and fire. And they lift our hearts out of the dust, and out of the grave Picture Quote #1

Twenty aspirin, a little slit alongside the veins of the arm, maybe even a bad half hour standing on a roof: We’ve all had those. And somewhat more dangerous things, like putting a gun in your mouth. But you put it there, you taste it, it’s cold and greasy, your finger is on the trigger, and you find that a whole world lies between this moment and the moment you’ve been planning, when you’ll pull the trigger. That world defeats you. You put the gun back in the drawer. You’ll have to find another way Picture Quote #1

The truth of art lies in its power to break the monopoly of established reality to define what is real Picture Quote #1

It is, I think, that we are all so alone in what lies deepest in our souls, so unable to find the words, and perhaps the courage to speak with unlocked hearts, that we don’t know at all that it is the same with others Picture Quote #1

Magic is a matter of focusing the disciplined will. But sometimes the will must be abandoned. The secret lies in knowing when to exercise control, and when to let go Picture Quote #1

We all talk about how much we hate lies. Yet we prefer, so often, to be lied to... because it allows us to dodge all those painful truths we’d rather not hear Picture Quote #1

Fake it may be, lies and deceptions, but this is the world in which we find ourselves, and here we must make our little lives Picture Quote #1

With lacquerware there is an extra beauty in that moment between removing the lid and lifting the bowl to the mouth, when one gazes at the still, silent liquid in the dark depths of the bowl, its colour hardly differing from that of the bowl itself. What lies within the darkness one cannot distinguish, but the palm senses the gentle movements of the liquid, vapour rises from within, forming droplets on the rim, and the fragrance carried upon the vapour brings a delicate anticipation... a moment of mystery, it might almost be called, a moment of trance Picture Quote #1

Comics deal with two fundamental communicating devices: words and images. Admittedly this is an arbitrary separation. But, since in the modern world of communication they are treated as independent disciplines, it seems valid. Actually, the are derivatives of a single origin and in the skillful employment of words and images lies the expressive potential of the medium Picture Quote #1

Sin, he reflected, is not what it is usually thought to be; it is not to steal and tell lies. Sin is for one man to walk brutally over the life of another and to be quite oblivious of the wounds he has left behind Picture Quote #1

I love the book legacy of lies it amazing and is fun to read over and over again Picture Quote #1
