They were all running around in mazes like everyone else."
"The only sentence that begins with 'I' that's true of me is I'm full of shit."
"Truth is hard-hearted and unrelenting, too clear, precise; a lie is much more imaginative."
"Truth will keep on telling the truthLies will lie to be more uncouthNo more rainbow after the stormNowhere to escape leaving the norm."
