Napoleon BonaparteVirtue itself scapes not calumnious strokes.

Christopher HitchensIf you’re lying, you’re lying.
John C. MaxwellWhen I’m making an American film, it’s more safe because there are so many people on the set to watch me. Whatever I do, they say, ‚What are you doing!? Tell me first!‘ There are so many restrictions.
Jackie ChanLying is not only saying what isn’t true. It is also, in fact especially, saying more than is true and, in the case of the human heart, saying more than one feels. We all do it, every day, to make life simpler.

Friedrich NietzscheEveryone who is critical of Israeli policy is deluged by crazed messages intended to flood their email system or, more insidiously, passwords are accessed and messages sent out under their name! I’m sure it’s illegal. It’s also an effort to undermine free speech.
Noam ChomskyFree speech has been used by the Supreme Court to give immense power to the wealthiest members of our society.
Noam ChomskyI’m the same kid who used to hop the trains with headphones and just go to downtown Manhattan, walk around and listen to music or walk through the city. The fame restricts that.

Harry S. TrumanIt is more from carelessness about truth than from intentionally lying that there is so much falsehood in the world.
