The essence of being human is that one does not seek perfection.

But the attitude of faith is to let go, and become open to truth, whatever it might turn out to be.

I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.

You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you mad.

It is the nature of truth in general, as of some ores in particular, to be richest when most superficial.

The pure and simple truth is rarely pure and never simple.

Peace begins with a smile..

Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.

Truth, like light blind. Falsehood, on the contrary, is a beautiful twilight that enhances every object.

The trust of the innocent is the liar's most useful tool.

There is no 'way to peace,' there is only 'peace.

Truth is on the side of the oppressed.

Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth.

It isn't enough to talk about peace; one must believe in it. And it isn't enough to believe in it; one must work at it.

I'm for truth, no matter who tells it. I'm for justice, no matter who it is for or against. I'm a human being, first and foremost, and as such I'm for whoever and whatever benefits humanity as a whole.

Fiction is the lie through which we tell the truth.

I believe we are here on the planet Earth to live, grow up and do what we can to make this world a better place for all people to enjoy freedom.

If you have no critics you'll likely have no success.

Where ignorance is our master, there is no possibility of real peace.

In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored.
