Most common types of lie

  1. Evasions instead of answers — lying by leaving out details
  2. white lies — “Lies we tell to make other people feel better”;
  3. rationalizations — “Lies we tell to make ourselves feel better.”

— House M.D.

“Poetry may make us from time to time a little more aware of the deeper, unnamed feelings which form the substratum of our being, to which we rarely penetrate; for our lives are mostly a constant evasion of ourselves.”

—T.S. Eliot

“They never tell you that hopping trains is, like, the most inspiring activity ever. That hobo life opens up a world of infinite possibility and adventure. that every town of consequence has a train yard, and that any adventure seeker can wake up and wonder, 'Where do I want to go today?" And rather than the coffee shop, or record store, or park, think Omaha, Miami, Boston, LA ... and then go there. Sitting in our first boxcar -- legs hanging out the door -- watching the ghetto scenery and all the towns we only passed through previously en route to the swap meet, well, it turned us into giggling children. We look back on those first moments of hobo life as the most stimulating of our lives. The ghetto turned into wilderness, the sun set, and we fell asleep in that boxcar on our way to ... well, that wasn't the point.”
