The only passion that guides me is for the truth... I look at everything from this point of view.
It makes all the difference in the world whether we put truth in the first place or in the second place.
The truth is forced upon us very quickly by a foe.
There is no absolute truth. There is only your truth.
There is not a crime, there is not a dodge, there is not a trick, there is not a swindle, there is not a vice which does not live by secrecy.
To know when to use the truth is the essence of successful deception
Truth is not a stereotype.
That is my story. Believe what you will. I remember it all
Thy word O Lord is the Truth.
The space between between breaths is measured in moments. But the space between Truths..? Lifetimes.
Now, why did Kitty, who was the most deceitful person on earth, who was in tune with every kind of falsehood, somehow by merely suffering remind us of reality? Why did her tears reveal to me what I...
There are some truths so terrible that they should not be spoken aloud, so appalling that even to acknowledge them is to risk sacrificing a crucial part of one's humanity, to exist in a colder,...
History is a set of lies agreed upon.
No one asks about the truth and non-truth. Should one not think 'why don't others accept it even when I am right?' It is because there is insistence and nagging behind that truth.
"What's so great about writing?" "You can make anything true."
The great lie is like a sword that has been thrust into the heart of humankind.
Speak truth and believe in the power of truth, the more you will believe in yourself, the more you will see the beauty of nature and mother earth.
Time has always been the greatest ally to Truth, because Time eventually relieves and reveals all.
Truth and facts are woven together. However, sometimes facts can blind you from seeing what is actually going on in someone's life.
There's nothing wrong with stretching the truth. We stretch taffy, and that just makes it more delicious.
Truth is so obscure in these times, and falsehood so established, that, unless we love the truth, we cannot know it.
Convictions are more dangerous foes of truth than lies.
Faith in the possibilities of continued and rigorous inquiry does not limit access to truth to any channel or scheme of things. It does not first say that truth is universal and then add there is but...
There seemed to be that same fierce quest after truth, the same unafraid penetration, the same feeling that character is beauty, no matter how sordid it may appear.
"I'm in love with you," he said quietly. "Augustus," I said. "I am," he said. He was staring at me, and I could see the corners of his eyes crinkling. "I'm in love with you, and I'm not in the...
Some wounds cut us so deep that they stop us. Stop us from letting go, from growing up, from seeing the truth.
Do you think I can't write this and get someone - a drunk married to a fool - to swear to it? Do you think I can't set myself up as a historian? As a storyteller? Do you think I can't write a history...
I have tried, of course, to be faithful to the evidence. Yet evidence is not truth. It is only evident.
The image isn't reality. Even though we're used to thinking that way alot of the time. We show a kid a picture of a dog and say 'This is a doggie' - but it's not. It's just an image.
A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.
The Red Lion was a four-ale bar with a handful of lowbrowed sons of toil who looked as though they...

If I turned towards books, it was because they were the only sanctuary I knew, one I needed in order...
We all had to pay, but not for the crimes we were accused of. There were other scores to settle.
Hope for some means its loss for others; when the hopeless regain some hope, those in power--the...
Why are they going to disappear him? I don't know. It doesn't make sense. It isn't even good...
It isn't even good grammar. What the hell does it mean when they disappear somebody?
Read me back the last line. 'Read me back the last line,' read back the corporal who could take...
