"A lie is when you say something happened which didn't happen. But there is only ever one thing which happened at a particular time and a particular place. And there are an infinite number of things which didn't happen at that time and place. And if I think about something which didn't happen, I start thinking about all the other things that didn't happen." Mark Haddon, from his book The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time
