About This Quote
There are a lot of people who do not remember their lies. The only people who do not forget their lies are those who have lied to them in the first place. These people, even when they live in the same town, will never know what their former friends say about them. They will never be able to find out if people say that they are a liar or a cheat. The damage they have done to other people lives will stay with them forever.
