Quotable insincerity

“We have become a sloppy bunch of people. We say things we don’t mean. We make promises we don’t keep. ‘I’ll call you.’ ‘Let’s get together.’ We know we won’t. On the Human Interaction Stock Exchange, our words have lost almost all their value. And the spiral continues, as we now don’t even expect people to keep their word; in fact we might even be embarrassed to point out to the dirty liar that they never did what they said they’d do.”
