“I lie to myself all the time. But I never believe me.”
-S.E. Hinton, The Outsiders
“’So you're always honest,’ I said.
‘Aren't you?’
‘No,’ I told him. ‘I'm not.’
‘Well, that's good to know, I guess.’
‘I'm not saying I'm a liar,’ I told him. He raised his eyebrows. ‘That's not how I meant it, anyways.’
‘How'd you mean it, then?’
‘I just...I don't always say what I feel.’
‘Why not?’
‘Because the truth sometimes hurts,’ I said.
‘Yeah," he said. "So do lies, though.’”
-Sarah Dessen, Just Listen
