,the rest of the girls pretended not to notice. That's just what best friends do.

But here's something that I know about friendship: Sometimes the right thing to do is to not point out that your friend hasn't touched her chicken fingers or French fries and not point that maybe she's just overreacting. Instead, you just smile and sit with her and say, "I understand" when really, you don't understand her at all.

Always sleep with one eye open. Never take anything for granted. Your best friends might just be your enemies.

I'm planning, you see, to try to confine myself to the truth. That's hard for an old, inveterate fantasy martyr and liar who has never hesitated to give truth the form he felt the occasion demanded.

All people know the same truth. Our lives consist of how we choose to distort it.

The questions you never asked exposes the lies you've come to accept as truth.
