More quotes by Deb Caletti
It was possible, maybe, to have facts in your mind that weren't facts at all. You could build a whole life's story on false assumptions. You could make truths out of untruths and untruths out of truths. Until you spoke them, really said them out loud or checked for sure, you may not have known which were which.

I shouldn't have to be a liar to make someone love me. I shouldn't be so afraid of losing someone that I'll do anything to make them stay.

I thought I might cry, the way you do when someone gives you some kindness when you most need it but when it seems the most surprising thing.

Truth was funny, because it was an insistent thing, maybe as powerful and insistent as some force of nature, the push of water or wind. You could keep it out only so long, but it had its own will and its own needs, and maybe you could keep it at bay with lies, but not for long, not for always.

Deb Caletti
You've got to say what you mean and mean what you say...Doubt in your voice is an open door people will shove right through.
Deb Caletti
You can hold a secret, hold it so far in that it drives nearly every thought and every move you make- your very heartbeat, almost.
Deb Caletti
If you look up charming in the dictionary, you'll see that it not only has references to strong attraction, but to spells and magic. Then again, what are liars if not great magicians?
Deb Caletti
I kept trying to talk myself out of my second thoughts when they were trying to help me. My advice? When it comes to relationships, second thoughts should be promoted.
Deb Caletti
Sometimes you build up these walls, you build and you build and you build up these walls and you think they’re so strong, but then someone can come along and tip them over with only his fingers, or the weight of his breath.
Deb Caletti
When you raise an animal, you live it like your own child.
Deb Caletti
Because words were hills and valleys you traveled, so lovely sometimes that they hurt your eyes.
Deb Caletti
But then there are the van Goghs and Hemingways and Mozarts, those who feel a hunger so deep, so far down, that greatness lies there too, nestled somewhere within it. Those who get their inner voice and direction from the cool mysterious insides of the moon, and not from the earth like the rest of us.
Deb Caletti
Sometimes you're sure dogs have some secret, superior intelligence, and other times you know they're only their simple, goofy selves.
Deb Caletti
It's hard to see clearly when your eyes are squinched tight out of fear.
Deb Caletti
Stories took twists and turns down fairy-tale paths or down very human everyday ones. You think you’re at the end of the book, and it’s only the end of a chapter.
