"Everybody lies. Cops lie. Lawyers lie. Witnesses lie. The victims lie. A trial is a contest of lies. Everybody in the courtroom knows this. The judge knows this. Even the jury knows this. They come in the building knowing they will be lied to. They take their seats in the box and agree to be lied to."
- Mickey Haller - The Brass Verdict (via neevermore)

Don’t believe something purely because you heard it; people are jealous and like seeing you in pain. Don’t assume things about someone based on your feelings towards them at the time; ask the person and find out the truth. Don’t hide the truth in fear of hurting another person’s feelings; the truth will set you free. Finally don’t ever apologise for telling someone how you feel; that’s like apologising for being yourself.
