Ophelia was surprised by how easily she lied. She had two stolen keys in her pocket, and the lies were sliding off her tongue. Soon, she'd probably be shoplifting. She expected that was how it started.

It seemed there was no end at all to the lies a person could tell, once she got started.

Grace hated lying, got no joy from it, and this was how she knew she wasn't pathological.

[N]o lie can live forever...

Lies are insulting to the mind and hurtful to the heart.

To be true to yourself is the only way to break free from the lie you live. Remember, Living a lie is not living at all. For life was given to us so that we may bring out the best within us, and how can one do that if the only thing that gets to live is the lie.
