Lying increases the creative faculties, expands the ego, lessens the
friction of social contacts.... It is only in lies, wholeheartedly
and bravely told, that human nature attains through words and speech
the forbearance, the nobility, the romance, the idealism, that -- being
what it is -- it falls so short of in fact and in deed.
-- Clare Boothe Luce (1903-1987)
