Thread: How do you say "The sacrifice of hiding in a lie" in Russian?

it-ogo, could you better define "Утопая во лжи, я гублю себя" и "Ложь затягивает и губит" for me so that I understand them correctly?

Literally they are:"Sinking in the lie, I ruin myself." and "Lie sucks under and ruins." correspondingly.

They are the best approaches to the same idea I was able to think of.

It is always a big problem to translate aphorisms.
