Michael Connelly Quotes

Think Maybe I Only Know One Thing In This World. One Thing For Sure. And That Is That The Truth Does Not Set You Free. Not Like I Have Heard It Said And Not Like I Have Said It Myself The Countless Times I Sat In Small Rooms And Jail Cells And Urged Ragged Men To Confess Their Sins To Me. I Lied To Them, Tricked Them. The Truth Does Not Salvage You Or Make You Whole Again. It Does Not Allow You To Rise Above The Burden Of Lies And Secrets And Wounds To The Heart. The Truths I Have Learned Hold Me Down Like Chains In A Dark Room, An Underworld Of Ghosts And Victims That Slither Around Me Like Snakes. It Is A Place Where The Truth Is Not Something To Look At Or Behold. It Is The Place Where Evil Waits. Where It Blows Its Breath, Every Breath, Into Your Mouth And Nose Until You Cannot Escape From It.
