One line that sticks out to me from that Chernobyl series on HBO was "every lie we tell incurs a debt to the truth. Sooner or later, that debt is paid." Seems appropriate right now.

Thank you for sharing this awesome quote. I found a more complete version:
тАЬWe are on dangerous ground right now, because of our secrets and our lies. TheyтАЩre practically what defines us. When the truth offends, we lie and lie until we can no longer remember it is even there. But it is still there. Every lie we tell incurs a debt to the truth. Sooner or later that debt is paid.тАЭ

Very powerful, thank you.
Appropriate, but I don't think the debt has yet to be paid.
Wow...that was a great line...thanks or sharing. That was a great show too btw...
I haven't yet seen it, but my 33-yr-old son was telling me about it just last week. He actually got choked up talking about parts of it.
