We swallow greedily any lie that flatters us, but we sip only little by little at a truth we find bitter.

I preach there are all kinds of truth, your truth and somebody else's. But behind all of them there is only one truth and that is that there's no truth.

There are only two people who can tell you the truth about yourself - an enemy who has lost his temper and a friend who loves you dearly.

The first reaction to truth is hatred.

Human love has little regard for the truth. It makes the truth relative, since nothing, not even the truth, must come between it and the beloved person.

Truth is always served by great minds, even if they fight it.

The truth is you don't know what is going to happen tomorrow. Life is a crazy ride, and nothing is guaranteed.

I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality... I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word.

For every good reason there is to lie, there is a better reason to tell the truth.

The pursuit of truth and beauty is a sphere of activity in which we are permitted to remain children all our lives.
