“I have heard people say that the truth can set you free. Somewhat ironically, that's a bloody lie. The truth locks you in, determines a set way of thinking, of feeling, of believing. The truth is the opposite of freedom. Lies, on the other hand, can be whatever we want them to be. Lies can free us from a burden that truth would bury us with. Lies can ease a pain that truth would cause to rot and fester. Lies can make a point, where truth would just expose us for the hypocrites we are, a lesson all parents know well. The world is founded on lie, upon lie, upon lie. But the truth is always there, just waiting for an opportunity to tear down everything we have built.”

“You are braver than most," the bat said, eying his colored sword. "And I am not as dense as you think I am," Tanis said. "I know that even now you're trying your trickery." "If I use this... trickery and persuade you by it, wouldn't that mean I am smarter than you?" Tanis considered the logic. "Perhaps." "Then trickery is a form of knowledge. And knowledge is a form of truth. And you want more of it; otherwise, as I said, you wouldn't be here. So if by using trickery I persuade you to accept my knowledge, it can only be because I am smarter than you. I have more truth." It was confounding, this logic of his.”

“The world adamantly declares that we should live for things that will actually kill us in the living. And for many, the conviction to believe in these things outweighs the inevitability of the truth that they deny. Yet such is the power of these convictions that the reality of the lies are not even realized at the point that the promises aren’t delivered. Rather, the realization doesn’t happen until the life is over and the world got its way.”
