liar

Anyone who says they're not afraid at the time of a hurricane is either a fool or a liar, or a little bit of both.

Thank you, horseradish, for being neither a radish nor a horse. What you are is a liar food.

Show me an actor who doesn't want to be famous, and I'll show you a liar. Later, you realise that there's more to it than just the acquisition of fame, and money and girls. But that is what drives them and was what drove me, initially.

Hope is the only universal liar who never loses his reputation for veracity.

If only these walls could talk_the world would know just how hard it is to tell the truth in a story in which everyone__ a liar.

A liar should have a good memory.

The trouble with lying and deceiving is that their efficiency depends entirely upon a clear notion of the truth that the liar and deceiver wishes to hide.

See you in the fall.

Two half truths don't make one truth.

It seems too simplistic that just repeating a persuasive message should increase its effect, but that__ exactly what psychological research finds (again and again). Repetition is one of the easiest and most widespread methods of persuasion. In fact it__ so obvious that we sometimes forget how powerful it is.

I am not a conqueror. I am nothing like you.

Some people have the experience of being accused of lying when they do not think that they have lied. Circle a number to show what percentage of the time this happens to you.[question from the Dissociative Experiences Scale]

You will find the lies in the light and truth in the dark

After writing the letter Sybil lost almost two days. "Coming to," she stumbled across what she had written just before she had dissociated and wrote to Dr. Wilbur as follows: It's just so hard to have to feel, believe, and admit that I do not have conscious control over my selves. It is so much more threatening to have something out of hand than to believe that at any moment I can stop (I started to say "This foolishness") any time I need to. When I wrote the previous letter, I had made up my mind I would show you how I could be very composed and cool and not need to ask you to listen to me nor to explain anything to me nor need any help. By telling you that all this about the multiple personalities was not really true I could show, or so I thought, that I did not need you. Well, it would be easier if it were put on. But the only ruse of which I'm guilty is to have pretended for so long before coming to you that nothing was wrong. Pretending that the personalities did not exist has now caused me to lose about two days.

It was_early_in my career, and I had been seeing Mary, a shy, lonely, and physically collapsed young woman, for about three months in weekly psychotherapy, dealing with the_ravages of her terrible history of early abuse._One day I opened the door_to my waiting room and saw_her_standing there provocatively, dressed in a miniskirt,_her hair dyed flaming red,_with a cup of coffee in one hand and a snarl on her face. __ou must be Dr. van der Kolk,_ she said. __y name is Jane, and I came to warn you not to believe any the lies that Mary has been telling you. Can I come in and tell you about her?_ I was stunned but fortunately kept myself from confronting __ane_ and instead heard her out. Over the course of our session I met not only Jane but also a hurt little girl and an angry male adolescent. That was the beginning of a long and productive treatment.

Be bad, but at least don't be a liar, a deceiver!

I will forgive, but I will never trust again the person whom I considered a friend but unexpectedly push me down to misery.

We must know something about malevolence, about how to recognize it, and about how not to make excuses for it. We must know that we cannot expect fair play.That is, perhaps, most crucial of all. Those of us who practice in this field must face the implications of the fact that we are dealing with sexual abuse. Child sex offenders-people who exploit children__ bodies and betray their trust-are not going to hesitate to lie outright. This is obvious but nonetheless frequently seems to catch people by surprise.Confessions of a Whistle-Blower: Lessons Learned Author: Anna C. Salter. Ethics & Behavior, Volume 8, Issue 2 June 1998
