“The truth is not always what you see. It is about what you actually want to see. You cannot let go your whole life based on truth. Because, sometimes, it is a lie that we count on for our togetherness. And when I said that I do not need you, I actually wanted to keep us together, with that lie.” quote by Nishikant
