Quotes about Lying

“I lie to myself all the time. But I never believe me.”

-S.E. Hinton, The Outsiders

“’So you're always honest,’ I said.

‘Aren't you?’

‘No,’ I told him. ‘I'm not.’

‘Well, that's good to know, I guess.’

‘I'm not saying I'm a liar,’ I told him. He raised his eyebrows. ‘That's not how I meant it, anyways.’

‘How'd you mean it, then?’

‘I just...I don't always say what I feel.’

‘Why not?’

‘Because the truth sometimes hurts,’ I said.

‘Yeah," he said. "So do lies, though.’”

-Sarah Dessen, Just Listen
