Thinking of Zenzo

Just speak your mind. Say what you have to say, without trying to cover anything up. No more jokes or silly grins. For once in your life, tell the truth.

— If I were to do as you suggest, I’d have to spend time in jail again. I’d have to leap into the sea again. I’d have to become a madman again. You wouldn’t run away if that happened? Yes, I’m forever telling lies. But you are one person I’ve never deceived. You’ve never had any trouble seeing through my lies, have you? As for truly diabolical liars, there may be one or two among the people you most respect. Yes, that man. That man is repulsive to me. So great is my distaste for him, my determination not to become like him, that I’ve ended up making even the truth sound like lies. Muddying the waters. But I won’t deceive you. Today, again, I’ll tell you a story that’s far from translucent, a story that sounds like a lie but is, in fact, the truth.
