Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.
The truth is rarely pure and never simple. Modern life would be very tedious if it were either, and modern literature a complete impossibility!
The truth is, even if you read to your wife and child some night. You read them a lullaby. And the next morning, you wake up but your family doesn't. You lie in bed, still curled against your wife. She's still warm but not breathing. Your daughter's not crying. The house is already hectic with traffic and talk radio and steam pounding through the pipes inside the wall. The truth is, you can forget even that day for the moment it takes to make a perfect knot in your tie.
Explanation:
Pain's conversation with Naruto after the Death Star Technique.
Honesty is such a lonely word,
Everyone is so untrue.
Honesty is hardly ever heard
And mostly what I need from you.
