I've known rivers: I've known rivers ancient as the world and older than the flow of human blood in human veins. My soul has grown deep like the rivers. I bathed in the Euphrates when dawns were young. I built my hut near the Congo and it lulled me to sleep. I looked upon the Nile and raised the pyramids above it. I heard the singing of the Mississippi when Abe Lincoln went down to New Orleans, and I've seen its muddy bosom turn all golden in the sunset. I've known rivers: Ancient, dusky rivers. My soul has grown deep like the rivers.

My fear of coming out wasn't about rejection. I was scared people would say: 'Why were you lying to me? If you've been lying about that what else are you lying about?' Lying is my biggest regret.
Lying is not only a defense mechanism; it's also a coping mechanism and a survival technique.
I'm obsessed with 'Thelma and Louise,' and therefore obsessed with Callie Khouri who wrote that movie.
I've known rivers: I've known rivers ancient as the world and older than the flow of human blood in human veins. My soul has grown deep like the rivers.
There are lying looks, as well as lying words; dissembling smiles, deceiving signs, and even a lying silence.
If anyone accuses me of lying, I'll simply say I'm not lying, which is just an extension of the overall lying strategy.
It is not only by dint of lying to others, but also of lying to ourselves, that we cease to notice that we are lying.
The secret to getting away with lying, is believing with all your heart. That goes for lying to yourself even more so than lying to another.
