Famous quotes containing the word lie:

    Those in possession of absolute power can not only prophesy and make their prophecies come true, but they can also lie and make their lies come true.
    Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)

    In the hollow Lotos land to live and lie reclined
    On the hills like Gods together, careless of mankind.
    Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

    Through throats where many rivers meet, the curlews cry,
    Under the conceiving moon, on the high chalk hill,
    And there this night I walk in the white giant’s thigh
    Where barrren as boulders women lie longing still
    To labour and love though they lay down long ago.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
