When truth is replaced by silence, the silence is a lie.
-Yevgeny Yevtushenko
Quotations
Truth
If the truth is there, bad writing won’t hurt it!
-Alfred Adler
Truth, like gold, is to be obtained not by its growth, but by washing away from it all that is not gold.
-Leo Tolstoy
But better to be hurt by the truth than be comforted with a lie.
-Khaled Hosseini
Truth hurts - not the searching after; the running from!
-Anonymous
If we all worked on the assumption that what is accepted as true were really true, there would be little hope of advancement.
-Orville Wright
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
Through true devotional worship, they are attuned to Truth; at the True Door, they are found to be true. Blessed is their coming into being; they redeem all their ancestors.
-Sri Guru Granth Sahib "Guru Granth Sahib"
It's no wonder that truth is stranger than fiction. Fiction has to make sense.
-Mark Twain
True wisdom is less presuming than folly. The wise man doubteth often, and changeth his mind; the fool is obstinate, and doubteth not; he knoweth all things but his own ignorance… To be satisfied with a little, is the greatest wisdom; and he that increaseth his riches, increaseth his cares; but a contented mind is a hidden treasure, and trouble findeth it not.
-Akhenation "Akhenation, 14 century Egyptian king"
