“It's the strangest thing about being human: to know so much, to communicate so much, and yet always to fall so drastically short of clarity, to be, in the end, so isolate and inadequate. Even when people try to say things, they say them poorly or obliquely, or they outright lie, sometimes because they're lying to you, but as often because they're lying to themselves.”
― Claire Messud, The Woman Upstairs

“Words are the birds that break cover and show your enemy where you're hiding.”
― Mike Carey, Vicious Circle

“But better to get hurt by the truth than comforted with a lie.”
― Khaled Hosseini
