Quote #7

Bobby, like all Liars confronted, is instantly defense and instantly mad. (2.4.202)

Now James has taken it upon himself to call out anyone he deems a liar. Do you think Bobby is actually telling the truth about his mobster past, or has he been seen through by another liar?

Quote #8

[The kiss] is more, open, deeper, full, simpler, true. It is more. True. (2.4.537)

If kissing a recovering crack fiend in the woods isn't true, we don't know what is. For James, this is true love, which again, makes us wonder if he even understands what truth actually is.

Quote #9

I've read the Bible. It didn't ring true to me. (3.1.109)

That's irony right there. Many people read this book and it didn't ring true to them, either. But there also a lot of people who read the book (including Oprah) for whom the book did ring true. Maybe "truth" doesn't matter. Maybe what matters is whether you're willing to believe or not?
