“Integrity is a bugger, it really is. Lying can get you into difficulties, but to really wind up in the crappers try telling nothing but the truth.”

David Mitchell, Ghostwritten

In this quotation, the author wants to deliver the message that human beings should always tell the truth because lying will cause trouble for those who do it. He also points out that integrity is an important thing for life to be a good one. Lies refer that the one who tells them is hiding something, it's certainly a negative thing and not a positive one as it's hidden and not announced. When people are doing something good, they don't need to hide it from others but instead, they would show it to everyone.

“I am going to tell you a secret. Everything is about wanting. Everything. Things happen because of people wanting. Watch closely, and you’ll see what I mean.”

David Mitchell, Ghostwritten

The effects and results of wantings can be dangerous as people can do bad things just to fulfill their desires. It's important for people to know that goals do not justify the means when these means are going to hurt other people.
