We know they are lying

We know they are lying,
they know they are lying,
they know we know they are lying,
we know they know we know they are lying,
but they are still lying.

Attributed to Aleksandr Isayevich Solzhenitsyn

Påminner om det svenska citatet

"Endast en sak är satt i sten dom över död mans grav".

In english it could be

"Only one thing is set in stone judgement over dead mans grave".

Do note that "dom" is frequently used in swedish colloquial nowadays as a replacement for "de" and "dem" (ie the difficult to grasp concept "the others"). Further should be noted the replacement of refering to someone by their title vanquishing in the end of the 1800s to only be replaced by "du". Formerly the common phrase was "ni" (maybe "thee"). One could imagine the quote is actually of english origin because of the perfect spacement in the enjabment, but you never know.
