“But one takes what one can get when the devil vomits on your primroses.”
― Mark Hayes, From Russia with Tassels

“You don’t need to lie to me, not about this. Not about anything really. But you can, if you prefer to. I’m not important. You can tell me you tripped, or caught it on a nail, or whatever. And it doesn’t matter, if you want to lie to me, then you can.” “But don’t lie to yourself don’t ever lie to yourself .”
“If you do, lie to yourself that is, if you do. Then you’ll lose yourself to it and that way lays madness.”
― Mark Hayes, Cider Lane: Of Silence and Stars
