Quotes By Person: David Leavitt

“You hurt people desperately in order to protect your lies, which have become like children to you--gnawing, desperate children not content to suck every drop of milk from your breast, because they are always hungry. So they bite into the nipple itself, they devour the flesh itself, and still you protect them. The problem ceases to be that you cannot live without your lies so much as that your lies cannot live without you.”

-While England Sleeps, David Leavitt
