![“It's the best way of telling the truth; it's a process of producing grand, beautiful, well-ordered lies that tell more truth than any assemblage of facts. Beyond that … [it's] delight in, and play with, language; also, a curiously intimate way of communicating with people whom you will never meet.” quote by Julian Barnes](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/6f7/julian-barnes-522_books_it-s-the-best-way-of-telling-the-truth-i_2016681.jpg)
