"I was flipping channels, watching this cheerleading program on MTV. They took a field hockey girl and “transformed” her into a cheerleader by the end of the show. I was just wondering: what if she liked field hockey better?"

"Never try to do anything that is outside of who you are. A forced smile is a sign of what feels wrong in your heart, so recognize it when it happens. Living a lie will reduce you to one."

"You know there's no such thing as a complete lie. There's always some truth in there."

"It is better to offer no excuse than a bad one."

"Most of what I say is complete truth. My edit button is broken."

"To me, Ann Romney sounds like a better candidate than her husband. She put her MS into remission through horseback riding, alternative therapies, and a healthy diet. She knows how to pace herself. She has a sense of humor and an innate honesty, and her hair moves in the wind. Maybe she should run."

"For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst and to provide for it."

"Love and honesty don’t mix."

"If you do not tell the truth about yourself you cannot tell it about other people."

"Philip Larkin has a tough honesty and sense of humor that I find irresistible, as a contemporary poet."

"Don't change your mind just because people are offended; change your mind if you're wrong."

"I believe in true love. But my opinion is tainted, because I also believe in Bigfoot, aliens, and in the existence of honest politicians."

"To find out if she really loved me, I hooked her up to a lie detector. And just as I suspected, my machine was broken."

"In God's eyes, a man who teaches one truth and nothing else is more righteous than a man who teaches a million truths and one lie."

"Fuck it... That's really the attitude that keeps a family together, it's not "we love each other", it's just "fuck it, man."

"In a room wherepeople unanimously maintaina conspiracy of silence,one word of truthsounds like a pistol shot."

"Once you place that crown of liar on your head, you can take it off again, but it leaves a stain for all time."

"Be yourself; everyone else is already taken."

"Drawing is the honesty of the art. There is no possibility of cheating. It is either good or bad."
