Jennifer Egan Quotes

I Would Lie Of Course. I Lied A Lot And With Good Reason: To Protect The Truth - Safeguard It Like Wearing Fake Gems To Keep The Real Ones From Getting Stolen Or Cheapened By Overuse. I Guarded What Truths I Possessed Because Information Was Not A Thing - It Was Colorless Odorless Shapeless And Therefore Indestructible. There Was No Way To Retrieve Or Void It No Way To Halt Its Proliferation. Telling Someone A Secret Was Like Storing Plutonium Inside A Sandwich Bag The Information Would Inevitably Outlive The Friendship Or Love Or Trust In Which You'd Placed It. And Then You Would Have Given It Away.
