Quote #514
Basically, I have this theory that there are five kinds of truth. (This is
Joe's Theory of the Five Truths.) There is the truth you tell to casual
strangers and acquaintances. There is the truth you tell to your general
circle of friends and family members. There is the truth you tell to only
one or two people in your entire life. There is the truth you tell to
yourself. And finally, there is the truth that you do not admit even to
yourself. And it's that fifth truth that provides some of the most
interesting drama.....
