“إن شراستك كلها لإخفاء قلب هش ، لا حدود لهشاشته ، ذات يوم ستصل أصابع امرأة ما إليه وستطحنه . وإذ تجيء يومها إلي سأفهمك وحدي !”
― غسان كنفاني, رسائل غسان كنفاني إلى غادة السمان

“A white lie is not a lie at all. It is where you tell the truth but you do not tell all of the truth. This means that everything you say is a white lie because when someone says, for example, "What do you want to do today?" you say, "I want to do painting with Mrs. Peters," but you don't say, "I want to have my lunch and I want to go to the toilet and I want to go home after school and I want to play with Toby and I want to have my supper”

“An android,” he said, “doesn’t care what happens to another android. That’s one of the indications we look for."

“Then,” Miss Luft said, “you must be an android.”

“And this shows that people want to be stupid and they do not want to know the truth. And it shows that something called Occam's razor is true. And Occam's razor is not a razor that men shave with but a Law, and it says:

Entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem.

Which is Latin and it means:
No more things should be presumed to exist than are absolutely necessary.

Which means that a murder victim is usually killed by someone known to them and fairies are made out of paper and you can't talk to someone who is dead.”
― Mark Haddon, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time
