Quote by Jodi Picoult
A lie, as you probably know, has a taste all its own. Blocky and bitter and never quite right, like when you pop a piece of fancy chocolate into your mouth expecting toffee filling and you get lemon zest instead.
Summary
This quote captures the essence of how lies can be easily detected and discerned. Much like expecting a delightful taste from a piece of chocolate but getting an unpleasant surprise, lies have a distinct quality that sets them apart. Just as the taste of lemon zest would never be mistaken for toffee filling, lies leave behind a lingering bitterness and incongruity. This analogy emphasizes the inherent wrongness and lack of authenticity in deceit, highlighting its unmistakable nature.
