There are two opposing conceptions concerning lies. The first is attributed to Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, who is reputed to have said, __ lie told often enough becomes the truth._ There is another one, attributed to US President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who said: __epetition does not transform a lie into a truth.__t is clear that the Russian leadership has a preference for Lenin__ approach. Even faced with unequivocal evidence it continues to deny the facts. Apart from unfounded accusations against Georgia of genocide and the denial of its own use of cluster bombs, the war in Georgia was preceded and accompanied by open lies, misinformation (for instance, about __ncontrollable_ South Ossetian militias), and active disinformation, all reminiscent of the old Soviet style.In this way Russia almost succeeded in hiding the most important fact: that this was not a __ussian-Georgian war,_ but a Russian war against Georgia in Georgia. There was not a single Georgian soldier that crossed the Russian frontier at any point. The Georgian troops that went into South Ossetia did not cross international frontiers, but intervened in their own country, no different from Russian troops intervening in Chechnya. It was Russian and not Georgian troops that crossed the border of another, sovereign country, in breach of the principles of international law [230_31].

You aren't one of them, unless you join them and you be part of them. Truth always goes with us, it follows and always can be found, the lie is just masks, one over another, over another and what happens in the end... You even don't know with which guy did you sleep, was this guy with you yesterday or you were in date with other??

A Court of Thorns and Roses

"

Both girls jumped at a hard blow on the door. Eve hastily unlocked the door and stepped back as it flew open, and Shane charged through.__ow_?__ He was breathing hard, and he had a crowbar in his hand. He__ have broken through the locks, Claire realized, if he__ had to. She came toward him slowly, trying to figure out what he was feeling, and he dropped the crowbar and wrapped his arms around her, lifting her up off the ground. His face was buried in the crook of her neck, and the warm, fast pump of his breath on her skin made her shiver in raw delight. __h Christ, Claire. I__ sorry. I__ so sorry.____ot your fault,__ Eve said. She held out the field hockey stick. __ook! I hit him. Um, twice.____ood.__ Shane kissed Claire__ cheek and let her slide back down to the floor, but he kept hold of her arms. His eyes, bright under the bruises and swelling, surveyed her carefully. __e didn__ hurt you? Either of you?____ hit him!__ Eve repeated brightly, and brandished the stick again for emphasis
