  4. Robert Ferrigno _ Sins of the Assassin

    The devil has a thousand names," said Crews, voice rising, "but the name he takes the most pride in is Prince of Lies, because he is such a convincing fraud. Even God himself was fooled by Satan once, so what hope do we have to tell what's truth and what's false?

  5. Neil Gaiman _ Fragile Things: Short Fictions

    Everything he had ever done that had been better left undone. Every lie he had told - told to himself, or told to others. Every little hurt, and all the great hurts. Each one was pulled out of him, detail by detail, inch by inch. The demon stripped away the cover of forgetfulness, stripped everything down to truth, and it hurt more than anything.

  6. Fyodor Dostoyevsky _ Notes from Underground, White

    Though I have said that I envy the normal man to the last drop of my bile, yet I should not care to be in his place such as he is now {though I shall not cease envying him}. No, no; anyway the underground life is more advantageous. There, at any rate, one can … Oh, but even now I am lying!

  9. Sarah J. Maas _ A Court of Thorns and Roses

    Where are you going?"He looked over his shoulder at me. "If I stay, you won't get any sleep.""Stay," I said. "I promise to keep my hands to myself." Lie-such an outright lie.He gave me a half smile that told me he knew it, too, but nestled down, tugging me into his arms. I wrapped an arm around his waist and rested my head in the hollow of his shoulder.He idly stroked my hair.

They decide to keep working at a relationship or they give up. They love someone or they love someone else. And if they love someone else, it is often the idea that they love most, especially when they haven't learned enough to figure out that this new person probably won't save them either.
