I have never seasoned a truth with the sauce of a lie in order to digest it more easily.

Truth never was indebted to a lie.

I made over forty Westerns. I used to lie awake nights trying to think up new ways of getting on and off a horse.

But I know newspapers. They have the first amendment and they can tell any lie knowing it's a lie and they're protected if the person's famous or it's a company.

To me the meanest flower that blows can give thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears.

When you hear in the tape recordings Nixon's own voice saying, We have to stonewall, We have to lie to the Grand Jury, We have to pay burglars a million dollars, it's all too clear the horror of what went on.

Eyes lie if you ever look into them for the character of the person.

In Sleep we lie all naked and alone, in Sleep we are united at the heart of night and darkness, and we are strange and beautiful asleep; for we are dying the darkness and we know no death.

Someone who knows too much finds it hard not to lie.

Creative work is incredibly difficult, and that is where the tests lie.

We tell lies when we are afraid... afraid of what we don't know, afraid of what others will think, afraid of what will be found out about us. But every time we tell a lie, the thing that we fear grows stronger.

These newspaper reporters... ever since Sullivan versus New York Times... have got a license to lie.

The best time to listen to a politician is when he's on a stump on a street corner in the rain late at night when he's exhausted. Then he doesn't lie.

Politicians often lie.

We all lie to each other, present some sort of front.
