“I sometimes believe his lies are the truth, but I have never mistaken his truth for a lie.”

“I shouldn't have eavesdropped, but sometimes, that's the only way to find out the truth.”

“To tell you the truth, I sometimes find it a bit tiresome," Fiona said….”

“But what's real? You can't find the truth, you just pick the lie you like the best.”

“The difficulty that we have, and I don't mean to be rude here, is that we have a president who is a pathological liar. So, could it be true? I guess it could be. Is it likely to be true? Probably not. And I think what happens in our own country and around the world, people don't believe much of what Trump says, and when you lie all the time, the problem is sometimes when you're telling the truth that people are not gonna believe you.”

“But what's real? You can't find the truth. You just pick the lie you like best. As long as you know that everything's a lie, you can't hurt yourself.”

“Why do you lie" I ask her.

“Alanna didn't approve of lying, but in a pinch a lie was sometimes better than the truth.”

“I went in thinking: "I'm not going to find out that Darwinism is a fraud. I'll probably find out these (intelligent design proponents) are frauds." But I wound up knowing a lot more than when I started. I learned that Darwinism is being overhyped, and that it doesn't really convey what's going on. Sometimes if you follow a "truth" far enough, it becomes a lie.”
