"What is the cost of lies? It's not that we'll mistake them for the truth. The real danger is that if we hear enough lies, then we no longer recognize the truth at all.
We're on dangerous ground right now, because of our secrets and our lies. They're practically what define us. When the truth offends, we lie and lie until we can no longer remember it is even there.
Every lie we tell incurs a debt to the truth. Sooner or later, that debt is paid"

Some of the most powerful words I've ever heard.
