“My mother is a firm believer in the long pause, useful in interrogations, proclamations of truth, and the occasional cutting dead of someone without their knowing it.”
“Without death, life would have no boundaries and our days would not be so precious. My mother was a firm believer in the common sense of nature.”
“A truth may be useful without being understood, indeed without being believed.”
“I don't want someone to believe my lies, I need someone to accept my truths.”
“You always know the truth, because when you cut yourself or someone else with it, there’s always a bloody show.”
“Your mother would make an excellent interrogator.”
