Little lies that make people feel better are not bad, like thanking someone for a meal they made even if you hated it, or telling a sick person they look better when they don't, or someone with a hideous new hat that it's lovely. But to yourself you must tell the truth
Louise FitzhughLIFE IS A GREAT MYSTERY. IS EVERYBODY A DIFFERENT PERSON WHEN THEY ARE WITH SOMEBODY ELSE?
Louise FitzhughOle Golly: The time has come, the walrus said... Harriet M. Welsch: To talk of many things... Ole Golly: Of shoes and ships and ceiling wax... Harriet M. Welsch: Of cabbages and kings... Ole Golly: And why the sea is boiling hot... Harriet M. Welsch: And whether pigs have wings!
Louise FitzhughI think thatโs whats wrong with the world. No one says what they feel, they always hold it inside. Theyโre sad, but they donโt cry. Theyโre happy, but they donโt dance or sing. Theyโre angry, but they donโt scream. Because if they do, they feel ashamed. And thatโs the worst feeling in the world. So everyone walks with their heads down and no one sees how beautiful the sky is.
