"For every good reason there is to lie, there is a better reason to tell the truth." - Bo Bennett

"No one can lie, no one can hide anything, when he looks directly into someone's eyes." - Paulo Coelho

"Above all, don't lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love. " - Fyodor Dostoyevsky

"When you tell a lie, you steal someone's right to the truth." - Khaled Hosseini

I only know what others have told me.
All other words remain sealed
Behind closed lips, silent lips.
Truth, falsehood; I have not
The tools to discern the difference.

Stuck in the darkness that
Others have painted around me,
I seek the truth, reach for the light.
But it seems further and further
Away the more I search.
