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

I hope that real love and truth are stronger in the end than any evil or misfortune in the world.

A first rate soup is better than a second rate painting.

If everyone demanded peace instead of another television set, then there'd be peace.

Sometimes the truth hurts. And sometimes it feels real good.

To love truth for truth's sake is the principal part of human perfection in this world, and the seed-plot of all other virtues.

If you would be a real seeker after truth, it is necessary that at least once in your life you doubt, as far as possible, all things.

The monotony and solitude of a quiet life stimulates the creative mind.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

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

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

Fiction is the lie through which we tell the truth.

Rats and roaches live by competition under the laws of supply and demand; it is the privilege of human beings to live under the laws of justice and mercy.

I speak the truth not so much as I would, but as much as I dare, and I dare a little more as I grow older.

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

There is nothing true anywhere, The true is nowhere to be seen; If you say you see the true, This seeing is not the true one.

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

Truth is a tendency.

To be honest, one must be inconsistent.

The truth is found when men are free to pursue it.

A faith that cannot survive collision with the truth is not worth many regrets.
