About This Quote
The best way to find out if a person is telling the truth is to ask them. However, if you ask a question and they say yes, it doesn’t really matter what they said. If what they said was the truth, it broke her heart. If what they said was a lie, it was broken anyway.
In this quote, the speaker is telling a story about a woman who has been lied to so many times that she no longer believes anything anyone says. This is a person who can’t take any more lies, and he thinks that the only thing that will stop them from lying is to stop believing them.
