Decency is not news; it is buried in the obituaries - but it is a force stronger than crime.
Robert A. HeinleinThe price of freedom is the willingness to do sudden battle anywhere, any time and with utter recklessness.
Robert A. HeinleinItโs not enough to be able to lie with a straight face; anybody with enough gall to raise on a busted flush can do that. The first way to lie artistically is to tell the truth โ but not all of it. The second way involves telling the truth, too, but is harder: Tell the exact truth and maybe all of itโฆbut tell it so unconvincingly that your listener is sure you are lying.
