“When you tell one lie, it leads to another”

-Paul Hatch

What i understand from this quote is that if you tell a lie they keep adding up and if you stop lies they will fade away like nothing ever happened. For example: if you tell your mom your going out with your friends house to study and you actually go out with your friends and then another time you tell your mom you are going to the library and you go to your friends house. The more lies you say the more lies that you will remember and if you stop saying lies the more you will forget them. So, if you tell the truth, it becomes part of your past. If you tell a lie, it becomes part of you future.
