"Maybe the truth does not matter, but I want to know it if only so that I can come to some conclusions about such questions as:
whether he is angry at me or not; if he is, then how angry;
whether he still loves her or not; if he does, then how much;
whether he loves me or not; how much;
how capable he is of deceiving me in the act and after the act in the telling."
— Lydia Davis
