[stylist] Quote to ponder

[Donna Hill]

Being a lie doesn't make something not real though, just not true. My
husband is always complaining when he watches Wheel of Fortune that their
categories are too vague. He partidcularly objects to the "Thing" category,
saying that everything is a thing -- a person, a concept a place -- even
nothing is a thing. Real is a bit vague for me, personally.

Everything you can imagine is truly possable, but I do not know about it all
being real. Was not Flip often the center square? Richard Pryor set himself
on fire while free basing. I do not think Flip ever did such a thing.My
friends sister dated Pryor at the timeof the incident. Eve  Oh, and to quote
Gregory House, "Everybody lies."
