Quote #1
"Maybe he's still angry that you lied to him and went behind his back to work with his father," Cara says. (1.13)

Quote #2
"How is revealing the truth to our entire city an act of betrayal?" (2.20)

Quote #3
I know as I'm saying the words [you're the better liar] that they hit a sore spot in both of us. She lied to me so many times. (2.35)
Is honesty always the best policy? Here, Tris has to lie in order to escape execution. We've heard that the truth will set you free, but in this case, lies set Tris free. We think.
