From Ash Wednesday by James W. Bailey

Faking your own existence...you become a counterfeit product of your fraudulent imagination...Every moment of your criminal life...becomes a morally prosecutable offense...To strip yourself of your banal insincerities...is to admit to a spiritual felony...To be the real you...is to be on the lam...forever.
