One of my favorite passages from Chances Are:
"But that's the thing about lies, right? Individually they don't amount to much, but you never know how many others you'll need to tell in order to protect that first one, and damned if they don't add up. Over time they get all tangled up until one day you realize it isn't event the lies themselves that matter. It's that somehow lying has become you default mode.And the person you lie to most is yourself" [p.245]
