    Una volta che si dice una bugia al mondo, bisogna continuare a mentire in eterno. Diventa necessario per far quadrare i conti. Non è affatto una cosa semplice, sia dal punti di vista psicologico che dal punto di vista pratico. Se qualcuno commettesse anche un solo errore, potrebbe essere fatale per tutti. Non lo pensa anche lei?

    Lies are terrible things. One could say that the greatest sins afflicting modern society are the proliferation of lies and silence. We lie through our teeth, then swallow our tongues. All the same, were we to speak only the truth all year round, then the truth might lose its value.
