I liked all their lies best, for I think they are the brighest part of anybody's history.

Se miente cuando se dice la verdad en que no se cree. —Miguel de Unamuno

I think the difference between a lie and a story is that a story utilizes the trappings and appearance of truth for the interest of the listener as well as of the teller. A story has in it neither gain nor loss. But a lie is a device for profit or escape. I suppose if that definition is strictly held to, then a writer of stories is a liar—if he is financially fortunate. —John Steinbeck

Moneda del pobre. —Louis-Ferdinand Céline
