LEAH: I don’t know if I’ll ever believe anything . . . or anybody, again.”

LYMAN: Tom, I love her, too. But after thirty-two years we bore each other, we just do. And boredom is a form of deception, isn’t it. And deception has become like my Nazi, my worst horror—I want nothing now but to wear my own face on my face every day till the day I die. Or do you think that kind of honesty is possible?

TOM: I don’t have to tell you, the problem is not honesty but how much you hurt others with it.”
