Quoted in [The Irish Astronomical Journal, Volume 12, Irish Astronomical Society, 1975, 150]
“Why do you lie" I ask her.
"To block the truth."
Fair enough.
Naomi goes on. "Where did we get it in our heads that we need truth all the time? Sometimes lies are nice, you know? You don't have to know the truth all the time. It's too exhausting.”
