“A lie took two parties - the weaver of the tale and the sucker who so badly wanted to believe it.”
“Lies were only as strong as the suckers that believed them.”
“It takes two people to make a lie work: the person who tells it, and the one who believes it.”
“...when they look at me, I so badly want to be who they see.”
“There are two reasons not to tell the truth--becuase lying will get you what you want, and because lying will keep someone from getting hurt.”
“If you want something to be true badly enough, you can rewrite it that way, in your head. You can even start to believe it.”
“There are so many things I can't believe. That people deserve what they get, both bad and good. That one day I'll live in a world where people are judged by what they do instead of who they are. That happy endings don't have contingencies and conditions.”
