Fatal Falsehood

Famous quotes containing the words fatal and/or falsehood:

“It was a fatal day when the public discovered that the pen is mightier than the paving-stone, and can be made as offensive as the brickbat.

—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

“We aim above the mark, to hit the mark. Every act hath some falsehood of exaggeration in it.”
