When you become complacent with someone lying, whether it is a close friend, the media, or your government, then you have essentially given them permission to continue to do so and most often at your expense.

Lies are like cockroaches, for every one you discover there are many more that are hidden.

Disinformation is distinguished from misinformation in that it is intentionally fraudulent.

We don't lie to protect the other person. We lie to protect ourselves from the consequences. We lie because we don't want to deal with our own feelings. We lie because we don't want things to change. Not by our hand. So a wall starts to build.

I suppose we all lie to ourselves sometimes.

People tell all kinds of lies to save their skins.
