15 Movie Quotes about Liars
Liar, liar, pants on fire!
It doesn't matter if it's with Prince Charming (or should we say Harming?), your friends, relatives, boss, colleagues or neighbours... trust is the glue that holds all important relationships together. And lies can destroy it in a matter of seconds. But unless you're living under a rock, you probably know that lies are all around us (we even have a special day to celebrate lying, duh!). From social media, fake news and marketing moguls trying to sell you everything, to the kid telling their teacher the dog ate their homework... we all have bamboozled at least once. One thing is for sure: you have to be notoriously charismatic and creative to not get caught. Be aware though, there is a fine line between harmless white lies and trying to fool others. Never cross it. Check out the best movie quotes about liars.

If your eyes go up and right, you're accessing the brain's creative centers and we know you're full of shit.”
