lie

A lie told in the service of truth is virtue.

In case you__e not bright enough to figure it out, there__ a real upside to having a sinner like me answer your phone. I lie, and your conscience stays clear.

You know what, Sam? We created the council to take pressure off of you. Because you were falling apart.__am just stared at her. Not quite believing she__ said it. And Astrid seemed shocked herself. Shocked at the venom behind her own words.__ didn__ mean_,_ she started lamely, but then couldn__ find her way to explaining just what it was she didn__ mean.Sam shook his head. __ou know, even now, as long as we__e been together it still surprises me that you can be so ruthless.___uthless? Me?___ou will use anyone to get what you want. Say anything to get your way. Why was I ever even in charge?_ He stabbed an accusing finger at her. __ecause of you! Because you manipulated me into it. Why? So I would protect you and Little Pete. That__ all you cared about.___hat__ a lie!_ she said hotly.__ou know it__ the truth. And now you don__ have to bother manipulating me, you can just give me orders. Embarrass me. Undercut me. But as soon as some problem hits, guess what? It__l be, oh, please, Sam, save us.___nything I do, I do for everyone__ good,_ Astrid said.__eah, so you__e not just a genius now, you__e a saint.

Hope is a beautiful lie and it requires talent to create it for others.

Taylor, listen to me. I could tell you that it__ okay. That she wasn__ a wonderful person, or I didn__ love her. I could tell you that she__ happier now, and her life would__e been sad and filled with pain and longing to see her love again. I could say that I__ not struggling with her death, as well as the death of the hope that she could once again be part of my life. But instead I__l just say that I__ sad, too, sweetheart. That way I can spare you the struggle of detecting the lie in my words.

No one showed any signs of recognizing me. I didn't know what I'd do if they did, other than lie like a devil and pray like a saint.

The devil has a thousand names," said Crews, voice rising, "but the name he takes the most pride in is Prince of Lies, because he is such a convincing fraud. Even God himself was fooled by Satan once, so what hope do we have to tell what's truth and what's false?

Alex, please.__e balls his fists. __top saying my name. You don__ know me anymore.___ do know you._ I__ still crying, swallowing back spasms in my throat, struggling to breathe. This is a nightmare and I will wake up. This is a monster-story, and he has come back to me a terror-creation, patched together, broken and hateful, and I will wake up and he will be here, and whole, and mine again. I find his hands, lace my fingers through his even as he tries to pull away. __t__ me, Alex. Lena. Your Lena. Remember? Remember 37 Brooks, and the blanket we used to keep in the backyard____on__,_ he says. His voice breaks on the word.__nd I always beat you in Scrabble,_ I say. I have to keep talking, and keep him here, and make him remember. __ecause you always let me win. And remember how we had a picnic one time, and the only thing we could find from the store was canned spaghetti and some green beans? And you said to mix them____on__.___nd we did, and it wasn__ bad. We ate the whole stupid can, we were so hungry. And when it started to get dark you pointed to the sky, and told me there was a star for every thing you loved about me._ I__ gasping, feeling as though I am about to drown; I__ reaching for him blindly, grabbing at his collar.__top._ He grabs my shoulders. His face is an inch from mine but unrecognizable: a gross, contorted mask. __ust stop. No more. It__ done, okay? That__ all done now.___lex, please____top!_ His voice rings out sharply, hard as a slap. He releases me and I stumble backward. __lex is dead, do you hear me? All of that__hat we felt, what it meant__hat__ done now, okay? Buried. Blown away.___lex!__e has started to turn away; now he whirls around. The moon lights him stark white and furious, a camera image, two-dimensional, gripped by the flash. __ don__ love you, Lena. Do you hear me? I never loved you.__he air goes. Everything goes. __ don__ believe you._ I__ crying so hard, I can hardly speak.He takes one step toward me. And now I don__ recognize him at all. He has transformed entirely, turned into a stranger. __t was a lie. Okay? It was all a lie. Craziness, like they always said. Just forget about it. Forget it ever happened.___lease._ I don__ know how I stay on my feet, why I don__ shatter into dust right there, why my heart keeps beating when I want it so badly to stop. __lease don__ do this, Alex.___top saying my name.

You can't lie to a dead person.They already know the truth.

Clever as the Devil and twice as pretty.

Where people are not present, talking about them is either lie or ridiculous.

Whoever said there are many girls in the world lied.There is only one

Why wait to forgive and let go only after you have sufficiently wallowed in your despair? Why not forgive and let go now?

Gemma, I__ not going to hurt you._ His voice is as smooth as silk as he winds around the bed, his radiant, green eyes fixed on me. __ promise I won__ hurt you. Everything__ okay.__ laugh sharply as I put weight on my weak legs. __hat__ the biggest lie I__e ever heard come out of your mouth, which says a lot since you__e the biggest liar I__e ever met.

Keep hoping. Be patient and diligent. Never give up. Hold on to your faith. God helps us when we show Him that we are willing to help ourselves.

I had told him I was searching for my keys, that's what had taken me so long in the car, and I squeezed him tighter, as if I could crush my little lie.

A wise man does not waste so good a commodity as lying for naught.

The Lies, are so many,that eyes are getting blind.
