“When your lover is a liar, you and he have a lot in common, you're both lying to you!”

“A lover's a liar,To himself he lies,The truthful are loveless,Like oysters their eyes!”

“there are a few rules I know to be true about love and marriage: If you don't respect the other person, you're gonna have a lot of trouble. If you don't know how to compromise, you're gonna have a lot of trouble. If you can't talk openly about what goes on between you, you're gonna have a lot of trouble. And if you don't have a common set of values in life, you're gonna have a lot of trouble. Your values must be alike.”

“It is worse for a liar to tell the truth than for a lover of truth to lie.”

“You may have fucked a lot of women, James, but I’m your first lover.”

“One’s lover is one’s partner in observing and understanding the world. Marriage is a place where joint narratives are composed. If the lover is a liar then all your joint observations are unreliable. You will have to start all over again.”
