“An excuse is worse and more terrible than a lie; for an excuse is a lie guarded”

“There is no worse lie than a truth misunderstood by those who hear it.”

“The truth hurts
and lie's worse.”

“Hope and reality lie in inverse proportions, inside the walls of a hospital… Doubt is like dye. Once is spreads into the fabric of excuses you've woven, you'll never get rid of the stain.”

“Usually, terrible things that are done with the excuse that progress requires them are not really progress at all, but just terrible things.”

“I've seen so goddamn much — I've seen so much that there's no reasonable excuse for looking away, because there can't be anything left that's more terrible than what has come before.”

“Excuse me, but I just have to say this. You are more stupid than a paramecium.”

“Madness is always a wonderful excuse, don’t you think? For doing terrible things to other people.”

“Sometimes I wish I had a terrible childhood, so that at least I'd have an excuse.”

“Is a dream a lie if it don't come true
Or is it something worse?”
