Fyodor Dostoevsky

“Lying is a man's privilege over all organisms. if you lie--you get the truth! Lying is what makes me a man. Not one truth has been reached without first lying fourteen times or so, lying maybe a hundred and fourteen, and that's honorable in its way; well, but we can't even lie with our own minds!”
