In the beginning, some people try to appear that everything about them is "in black and white," until later their true colors come out.

Something I didn't even know was on my bucket list has been achieved. I have cooked Thanksgiving dinner with Martha Stewart.

A liar begins with making falsehood appear like truth and ends with making truth itself appear like falsehood.

Trust not too much to appearances.

Ours is the century of enforced travel of disappearances. The century of people helplessly seeing others who were close to them disappear over the horizon.
