Wilde about Truth and Lies

The person who voices truth is indeed a lonely person most of the time, because so many people have no motivation to question what is false. Tax returns were due today (in Canada, for self-employed persons) so, rightly feeling raped by a government the very power of which is founded on a lie, I share with you the words of one who described some of the most moving truths about truth and falsehood: Oscar Wilde...

"A thing is not necessarily true
because a man dies for it."

Religious Suicide Bomber

"Truth is what's left over
when you run out of lies."

The semen-stained dress of Monica Lewinsky(courtesy of arch-half-truth-teller Bill Clinton)

"The pure and simple truth is
rarely pure and never simple."

Charles Darwin.

"Beware the half truth: you
may have gotten the wrong half."

"I did not have sex with that woman...Monica Lewinsky"
("sex", Clinton explained, means sexual intercourse...
whereas clinton merely received a blow-job and
penetrated Lewinsky with a cigar)

"As long as the truth is naked,
men will continue to
take liberties with her."

Neurologist Wilder Penfield. His research provided evidencethat thought is the product of the brain, not of a mystical soul.
Yet, closer to the grave, he allowed for mystical interpretations ofhis research.

"Man is least himself when he
talks in his own person. Give him
a mask and he will tell the truth."

"Deep Throat", a.k.a. W. Mark Felt

"If one tells the truth, one is sure,
sooner or later, to be found out."

Galileo, who demonstrated that the Earthrotates about the Sun, rather than vice versa, and who suggested that the Catholic church was "Simplicio" about the subject.

"Lie and the world lies with you;
tell the truth and the world lies about you."

Philosopher Ayn Rand,
who discovered and explained the proprietyof rational egoism.
