Hey readers,
Welcome back to Tuesday's Takeaways!
This week the Top Quotes​' theme is lies! 
  • Takeaway trivia of the week: Do you know what aspect of a liar's eyes will give them away? 
"Heaven is hopeless
And hidden from view
And I don’t know
How to help it
Because I’ve been a sinner
For as long as I’ve known
That lying
Tastes good on the tongue"
-Kate Podias

"Purple prose flees my fingers but it is only running away from the white whispers in my head.
The lies of my dreams, the exodus of rationality"
-Mic Braun, Purple Prose

​ "I don’t believe a single phrase that falls from those beautiful lips."
-Tonsor Mal, Be Patient

"My forked tongue slips between my teeth to turn a calculated cacophony into honey along my berry-boisterous lips 
. . .
My forked tongue spits into my mirrored face as I whisper with false sincerity,
That I am the most luminous star
I know I am a soiled girl."
-Samantha Paucar​, Nice Enough Girl and Her Cheap Tears 

And now...
It's their pupils! It's a widespread belief is that liars have shifty eyes, but that's actually not true. When a person is lying their pupils will dilate! 


Next week's theme is going to be about flowers.
Make sure to stay tuned! <3
