Quote from Wilson in Ex Marks the Spot
Tim: When I broke up with this girl, I never called to tell her. Wilson: So, you lied to her? Tim: No. Wilson: Well, according to Robert Louis Stevenson, you did. He said, "The cruelest lies are often told in silence." Tim: Hm. But didn't Calvin Coolidge say,"Nothing he never said ever did him any harm"? Wilson: Very good. Thomas Mann once said, "A harmful truth is better than a useful lie." Tim: Not bad. Wait, wait, wait! Turkish proverbs was, "He who tells the truth will be chased out of nine villages." Wilson: Excellent. But I believe the final word would be Heywood Broun. "For truth there is no deadline." Tim: Oh! That's three to two. You beat me, Wilson.
