“The truth doesn't always set you free; people prefer to believe prettier, neatley wrapped lies”

“Perhaps he d always known that the truth of a person lies in the heart.”

“It takes two people to make a lie work: the person who tells it, and the one who believes it.”

“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.”

“There's an honesty to the wolf world that is liberating. There's no diplomacy, no decorum. You tell your enemy you hate him; you show your admiration by confessing the truth. That directness doesn't work with humans, who are masters of subterfuge. Does this dress make me look fat? Do you really love me? Did you miss me? When a person asks this, she doesn't want to know the real answer. She wants you to lie to her. After two years of living with wolves, I had forgotten how many lies it takes to build a relationship.”

“And, after all, what is a lie? 'Tis but the truth in masquerade.”

“What could it be like to find out, in a matter of minutes, that the person you believed the sun rose and set on was not the person you'd thought?”
