Famous Courtney M. Privett Quotes

“The lies are as effortless as the truth, and I am no longer certain which are which. It is so easy to lose myself in the twisted boughs and broken groves of my labyrinth mind. There is too much nonsense, too many seeds floating into the desert, drifting languidly on a too-warm wind, too many tides waiting for a moon that long ago escaped from orbit and hurled itself into the sun.”

“The two most common lies in our world are 'I'm fine' and 'You'll be okay'. They are said without harmful intent, and often said in an attempt to placate worries, but still they tell us it is not our place to make another person uncomfortable or to draw too much attention to ourselves. Over and over, we mindlessly repeat variations of the same two phrases as we hide within our lies and attempt to spare others from the miserable truth. I'm fine. I'm okay. You're fine. You'll be okay. Everything will be all right. We become our lies, but only on the surface. Underneath, we are not fine and they will not be okay. We all know this but we're afraid to speak it.”
