Time talks behind our back. To our face it's friendly and logical, never hesitating to give more of itself. But when we're not looking, it steals our lives and says bad things about us to the parts of us it's stolen

Jonathan Carroll
About This Quote

The people who are closest to us will always make the most hurtful comments when we aren’t around. When we aren’t around, our friends will say things that are untrue to the parts of us that are stolen. The people who care about us will say these things to make us feel better about ourselves. They are trying to make us feel better by telling us that everything is okay, but they are only saying these things because they love us.
