“Don't waste your time trying to provide people with proof of deceit, in order to keep their love, win their love, or salvage their respect for you. The truth is this: If they care they will go out of their way to learn the truth. If they don't then they really don't value you as a human being. The moment you have to sell people on who you are in the moment you let yourself believe that every good thing you have ever done or accomplished was invisible to the world. And, it is not!”
