“I'd rather live a hard life of fact than a sweet life of lies.”
“There was pain, but there was also joy. It was in the tension between the two that life happened. Imperfect as it was, this world was real. Illusion was no substitute. I'd rather live a hard life of fact than a sweet life of lies.”
“Poetry is not the most important thing in life... I'd much rather lie in a hot bath reading Agatha Christie and sucking sweets.”
“I'd rather live life with the consequences of my choice than live with the consequences of fear.”
“I'd rather go on hearing your lies, than to go on living without you.”
“I'd rather live my life honestly, than spend it adapting to what others think I should be.”
