Liar
- There's no guilty pleasure like that of the liar on telling a good lie then getting completely, and totally believed.
- The liar's greatest punishment isn't in the least that he is not believed but that he cannot believe anyone else (-Shaw).
- A sentence that starts with the word, 'There's nothing that would make me lie' when said in denial, is often the hint that the previous sentence was a lie. Lying doesn't need a motif, by claiming it must have some motif indicates insecurity about the whole subject of lying and thus; that you lied yourself at some point. A good liar never says that.
- Constant liars are addicted not to the consequences of lying, simply to its rush.
- Contrary to popular belief: Lying DOES work sometimes. It only fails if someone else tells or you're too stupid to realize you're a very bad liar. In other words; it just fails cause you can't be honest with yourself; kind of ironic, eh?
- Just today I was walking on the street (for the huge bunch of you who don't know where I live, I reside in a very quite neighborhood in Alexandria, a long way from the seaport), and I saw this guy standing in front of the supermarket. He was talking loudly on the phone, loudly enough for me to hear him and he was blatantly lying. I could tell because he kept telling some dude that he was 'running in the seaport searching for the ship'...It was either code language or lying; I wouldn't bet on the code language cause he had spaces in the sentences. You know, the way you do when you're searching for just the right excuse to tell your boss, parents or any other party you have lied to in the past.
- Professional liars are often quite the megalomaniac type. I mean let's face it, if you think you're too good to be found out; you are clearly full of yourself.
- There are two you can't lie to no matter how hard you try: God and yourself. Some people actually think nobody can lie to their parents. That's quite stupid, in fact; parents are more vulnerable to their children's lies than anyone else. Especially if the lie triggers a favorable result (for e.g: "Mom, I passed" with a big smile on your face. The guilt obviously works its way later on but...you got my point).
I don't finish my exams tomorrow. I have no reason to lie about that.
