Lies Quote by Kate Wrath
““That’s how we are—people of reasons and holes. Anything we want, we can justify. We can poke holes in anything inconvenient by asking the right questions. And simultaneously we can patch holes in anything attractive by concocting the right explanations. It comes down to the lies we prefer to believe. The lies that bring us the most comfort. The lies that fulfill our desires and dispatch our fears.””
