Caging Skies

by Christine Leunens

THE GREAT DANGER OF LYING is not that lies are untruths, and thus unreal, but that they become real in other people’s minds. They escape the liar’s grip like seeds let loose in the wind, sprouting a life of their own in the least expected places, until one day the liar finds himself contemplating a lonely but nonetheless healthy tree, grown off the side of a barren cliff.

I do hope Brits wondering who to vote for in December make a mental note of this!
