What's a quote that has stuck with you for your whole life? - FMHY

I always loved browsing such posts on reddit, so thought I should make one on lemmy too

“I prefer the sharp dagger of the truth over the sweet poison of a lie.” - My ex girlfriend

“The things you own end up owning you.” - Tyler Durden

What did you lie about? 🙄
Oh, too many things. I was not a great boyfriend back then. I have changed!
Wow, just by admitting it you are a better man.
Just FYI, that quote from your girlfriend is not original. I believe originally it’s, “Better a bitter truth than a sweet lie,” but I’m not sure who said it first.
I figured, I was trying to look up where it originally came from, but couldn’t find it.
