Quote by Orson Scott Card

You're such a liar. But I'm a beautiful liar, don't you think? She flashed her best smile at her friend. I don't understand what men see in women anyway, her friend answered. Hexes or no hexes, as long as a woman has her clothes on a man can't see what he's interested in anyhow.

You're such a liar. But I'm a beautiful liar, don't you thin
