A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes. Mark Twain (http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/m/mark_twain.html)
This is a powerful quote because it starts off with a simple subject “lie” and this subject is not a flesh and blood subject making it a nominalization, this is powerful because even though the quote is not sticking with the rules of clarity it works and seems to flow very easily proving its point in the sentence.
A trip can last a long time but you are somehow still trapped in the same old routine.
