“To crooked eyes truth may wear a wry face”

“Human stories are practically always about one thing, really, aren't they? Death. The inevitability of death. . .”

“Be honest. This applies to every area of your life. Sketchiness is not an attractive trait. No more trying to cover up your baggage, sweeping things under the rug, withholding truth, blatant lying, or even telling seemingly ‘harmless’ white lies or half-truths – release the need to lie completely! Start NOW.”
