Quote by Steven Soderbergh

Lying is like alcoholism. You are always recovering.

Lying is like alcoholism. You are always recovering.

Summary

This quote suggests that just like alcoholism, the act of lying can become a habit that is difficult to break free from entirely. It implies that even after one becomes aware of the negative consequences of lying and makes an effort to change their behavior, there will still be remnants of the inclination to deceive that they must continuously battle against. Thus, the quote emphasizes the ongoing struggle and conscious effort required to avoid falling back into the pattern of lying.

If a walker is indeed an individualist there is nowhere he can't go at dawn and not many places he can't go at noon. But just as it demeans life to live alongside a great river you can no longer swim in or drink from, to be crowded into safer areas and hours takes much of the gloss off walking -- one sport you shouldn't have to reserve a time and a court for.
