“Better a lie that soothes ‚ than a truth that hurts.” The quote “better a lie that soothes‚ than a truth that hurts” means that it’s better to lie rather than to tell the cold hearted truth.

“Fear is simply the consequence of every lie”. This quote from Fyodor Dontovesky is trying to say that every time someone is making a lie that they don’t want anyone else to know and when people realize what really happened then consequences are very severe.
