Jesus. Low-Key Lyesmith, " said Shadow. and then he heard what he was saying and he understood. "Loki, " he said. "Loki Lie-smith.""You're slow, " said Loki, "but you get there in the end." And his lips twisted into a scarred smile and the embers danced in the shadows of his eyes. Neil Gaiman
About This Quote

Loki, known as Loki Lie-smith, was not called Loki for his ability to weave quick lies. He was called Loki because of the way he twisted people's words. He would use people's words against them and turn them against their friends. When Loki first came to Asgard, he was called Loki "the liar." But he never stopped lying and he never stopped twisting other's words, until everyone began calling him "Lord of Lies." He didn't like that, but what could he do?
