Quotations
Truth
The truth is not for all men but only for those who seek it.
-Ayn Rand
When truth is replaced by silence, the silence is a lie.
-Yevgeny Yevtushenko
Believe those who are seeking the truth; doubt those who find it.
-André Gide
The truth is a snare: you cannot have it, without being caught. You cannot have the truth in such a way that you catch it, but only in such a way that it catches you.
-Søren Kierkegaard
The greatest homage we can pay truth is to use it.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Truth" is not an act done at the physical level or an act performed driven by
emotions. Truth is the outcome of that particular action. If someone has used
abusive language for your betterment, then how did he abuse you?... He has
only desired a positive change in you.
-Deep Trivedi
Pain reaches the heart with electrical speed, but truth moves to the heart as slowly as a glacier.
-Barbara Kingsolver
"Animal Dreams"
There is no evil that cannot be done by the liar, who has transgressed the one law of truthfulness and who is indifferent to the world beyond.
-Dhammapada "Dhammapada 176"
Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; Truth isn't.
-Mark Twain
