God... Truth or fiction?

Well, outside of context, you can do a lot of interesting things... Especially if you take something out of context, skip some parts, and then write a different phrase. For example, you could easily make it seem like Pierre considers Andrei an idiot in "War and Peace" – after all, he does characterize Andrei in some way, and there's probably a word like "idiot" used somewhere in the text after that...
