An unexciting truth may be eclipsed by a thrilling falsehood.

If truth is not acceptable, it becomes the imagination of others.

Truth is a matter of the imagination.

The joke is generally in the oddest way the truth and yet not the fact.

Through being incredible, truth evades recognition.

Fantasy flows in where fact leaves a vacuum.

When one wishes to play the wit, he sometimes wander a little from the truth.

Truths are illlusions which we have forgotten are illusions.

Dearer to me than a host of base truths is the illusion that exalts.

There's a world of difference between truth and facts. Facts can obscure truth.

My friend, the truth is always implausible, did you know that? To make the truth more plausible, it's absolutely necessary to mix a bit of falsehood with it. People have always done so.

I was a little shocked at the elaborateness of the lie.

What a strange illusion it is to suppose that beauty is goodness.

Because it is so unbelievable, the truth often escapes being known.
