Quote by Charles H. Spurgeon

A lie travels round the world, while Truth is putting on her boots

A lie travels round the world, while Truth is putting on her

Summary

This quote suggests that lies and falsehoods can spread rapidly and widely, capturing people's attention and belief before the truth has a chance to be discovered and revealed. It illustrates how deceit and misinformation often gain more traction and attention than the time-consuming process of finding and presenting the facts. The phrase "while Truth is putting on her boots" implies that truth takes longer to surface or be acknowledged, leading to the dominance of lies in the meantime.

I don't know why I feel so wounded with Kartik's obvious infatuation with Pippa. There's no romance between us. There's nothing that tethers us but this dark secret neither of us wants. It's not Kartik's longing that hurts. It's my own. It's knowing that I'll never have what she has--a beauty so powerful it brings things to you. I fear I will always have to chase things I want. I'll always have to wonder whether I'm truly wanted or whether I've just been settled for.
