Quote by Márai Sándor
English (Source)
A liar always talks fast, mincing and babbling. He is very careful to embellish the incidental detail of a lie with every shade of truthfulness. He meticulously describes the clothing of the person he has not met but lies that he has just seen him. He lies desperately, like a good student who blows his homework.
A liar has no real imagination; he lies most of the time without a purpose; he does not know that the simplest reality is more interesting than anything he can conjure up.
Hungarian
A hazug ember mindig gyorsan beszél, darálva és hadarva. Nagyon vigyáz, hogy a hazugság mellékes részletét a valószerűség minden árnyalatával feldíszítse. Aprólékosan leírja annak ruházatát, kivel nem találkozott, de azt hazudja róla, hogy éppen az imént látta. Kétségbeesetten hazudik, mint a jó tanuló, aki fújja a leckét.
A hazug embernek nincs igazi képzelőereje; legtöbbször cél nélkül hazudik; nem tudja, hogy a legegyszerűbb valóság sokkal érdekesebb, mint minden, amit ő összehazudhat.
Romanian
Un mincinos vorbește întotdeauna repede, cu subînțeles și bâlbâindu-se. Este foarte atent să înfrumusețeze detaliile întâmplătoare ale minciunii cu fiecare nuanță de veridicitate. Descrie meticulos îmbrăcămintea persoanei pe care nu a întâlnit-o, dar minte că tocmai a văzut-o. Minte cu disperare, ca un elev bun care își face praf temele.
Un mincinos nu are o imaginație reală; el minte de cele mai multe ori fără un scop; el nu știe că cea mai simplă realitate este mai interesantă decât orice poate el inventa.
