She tilted her head to one side, considering him. Do you love me? Love is a trick and a sham. A foolish plague and a lie and a torment. Do you love me? she repeated, quite calmly. Knowing the answer. Yes, may it curse my soul. May it save your soul, she said.

Being a black transgender woman in America is really hard. It's been really hard for me. But for me living a lie was much worse. I need to be in my truth. And I've been very, very lucky that I've been able to live my dreams and I believe everyone should have the right to live their dreams. This is America. We're supposed to all have that right.
Laverne Cox

It’s tough to get out of bed I know that myself. You can lie there for an hour and a half without thinking anything, just worrying about what the day holds and knowing that you won’t be able to deal with it.

Eun Gi is lying. It means she doesn't believe me. It means she is angry at me. It means she can't forgive me.

The fact that I loved you was the greatest lie I have ever lived.
Anne Rice

When we talk about our lives, long or short, brief and tragic or enduring beyond comprehension, we impose a continuity on them, and that continuity is a lie.

The world changes, we do not, therein lies the irony that kills us.

Faith gives new light to the soul, but it does not put our eyes out and what God hathgivenusinournature could never be intended as a snare to Religion, or engage us to believe a lie.
Jeremy Taylor

Deliverance from believing lies must come from believing truth.
Jessie Penn-Lewis

Perhaps the mission of those who love mankind is to make people laugh at the truth, to make truth laugh, because the only truth lies in learning to free ourselves from insane passion for the truth.
Umberto Eco

Knowing what I know of love, I hang back because I don't like to lie to myself.

I can't believe that we would lie in our graves wondering if we had spent our living days well. I can't believe that we would lie in our graves dreaming of things that we might have been.
Dave Matthews

Knowledge is dangerous and men lie and the world changes, whether I want it to or not.
Patrick Ness
Image
Go with the pain, let it take you. Open your palms and your body to the pain. It comes in waves like the tide and you must be open as a vessel lying on the beach, letting it fill you up and then, retreating, leaving you empty and clear.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Image
When you love someone you do not love them, all the time, in the exact same way, from moment to moment. It is an impossibility. It is a lie to pretend to. And yet this is exactly what most of us demand. We have so little faith in the ebb and flow of life, of love, of relationships.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Image
The sea does not reward those who are too anxious, too greedy, or too impatient. One should lie empty, open, choiceless as a beach - waiting for a gift from the sea.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Image
The only real security is not in owning or possessing, not in demanding or expecting, not in hoping, even. Security in a relationship lies neither in looking back to what it was, nor forward to what it might be, but living in the present and accepting it as it is now.

Like the sorcerer of old, the television set casts its magic spell, freezing speech and action and turning the living into silent statues so long as the enchantment lasts. The primary danger of the television screen lies not so much in the behavior it produces as the behavior it prevents — the talks, the games, the family festivities and arguments.
Urie Bronfenbrenner

Lies from the closest to you are often the most numerous and paralyzing.
Anne Mallory
Image
Let me tell you the truth: The truth is what is. And what should be is a fantasy a terrible, terrible lie that someone gave the people long ago.
Lenny Bruce
Image
A writer paradoxically seeks the truth and tells lies every step of the way. It's a lie if you make something up. But you make it up in the name of truth, and then you give your heart to expressing it clearly.
Anne Lamott
Image
Almost everything is double like that for adolescents their lies are true and their truths are lies, and their hearts are broken by the world. They gyre and fall they see through everything, and are blind.
