Quote by Stephen King

Only enemies speak the truth friends and lovers lie endlessly, caught in the web of duty.

Only enemies speak the truth friends and lovers lie endlessl

Summary

This quote suggests that people are more likely to speak the truth when they are in conflict or have animosity towards someone (the "enemies"), while friends and lovers are more inclined to lie due to their emotional attachment and obligation to one another. It implies that honesty can be sacrificed for the sake of maintaining relationships, as friends and lovers may feel trapped or obliged to tell comforting or convenient lies to ease tension or avoid confrontation. The quote reflects on the complexities of human relationships and the potential conflicts between duty and honesty.
