Lies Quote by Miyoshi Tomori
““Maria: You're so sweet. And the lies you tell are sweet too. You put a lovely spin on things to make people happy. Yusuke: It's not like that. A lie is still a lie. And if it made you happy...then it had nothing to do with me. It's just that "love" is a powerful word. And it's a power you should take full advantage of...when you're talking to the person you want to hear you.””
