“[the only acting advice he would give] What is acting but lying and what is good lying but convincing lying?”

“Any system which says, This is a rotten world, wait for the next, give up, do nothing, succumb--that may be the basic Lie and if we participate in believing it and acting (or rather not acting) on it we involve ourselves in the Lie and suffer dreadfully... which only reinforces that particular Lie.”

“Lies do not lie, truth do, In the times of any act lies lie hidden behind.”

“But how he acts, and what he says, and what he does, and who he is, they don't line up anymore, and the lie is in that not lining up, the lie is in not being what she needs but pretending that he is. No one says a word, and she sees it every minute they have together.”

“Parents can only give good advice or put them on the right paths, but the final forming of a person's character lies in their own hands.”

“What good are dreams if they lie only in closed boxes.”
