Lie
(page 2)
There are a terrible lot of lies going around the world, and the worst of it is half of them are true.
When I was 21, I got into a motorcycle accident while traveling in Europe and I had to lie around a lot in the aftermath, which was really the first time in my life that I became really focused and inspired to write.
Half a truth is often a great lie.
Sometimes I lie awake at night and ask why me? Then a voice answers nothing personal, your name just happened to come up.
People never lie so much as after a hunt, during a war or before an election.
Never lie when the truth is more profitable.
Telling lies is a fault in a boy, an art in a lover, an accomplishment in a bachelor, and second-nature in a married man.
I never lie. I believe everything I say, so it's not a lie.
Sometimes I lie awake at night, and ask, 'Where have I gone wrong?' Then a voice says to me, 'This is going to take more than one night'.
I'm pretty restless in bed, so I can lie there for a couple of hours and be like, 'Hey, that happened today. What if that happened at a zoo?' I'll jot the idea down. Then I'm like, 'All right, so now that it's a zoo, that penguin's loose', or, whatever. I usually start with broad ideas.
