“If a woman truly loves you, you can’t always expect her to tell the truth. You see, women are more attuned to feelings than men are, and if they’re not being truthful, more often than not it’s because they think the truth might hurt your feelings. But that doesn’t mean they don’t love you.
If they do lie, it’s because they care.”
― Nicholas Sparks, At First Sight

And we did these things when your country was still a collection of thirteen small colonies, gnawing away at the edge of a continent.”
