John Milton

It wasn't only wickedness and scheming that made people unhappy...above all, it was the failure to grasp the simple truth that other people are as real as you. Ian Mcewan
The truth may be puzzling. It may take some work to grapple with. It may be counterintuitive. It may contradict deeply held prejudices. It may not be consonant with what we desperately want to be true. But our preferences do not determine what's true. Carl Sagan
Did this mean every impossible fairy tale was grounded somewhere in absolute truth? Was there anything sane or normal at all, or was everything just magic and ghost stories? Stephenie Meyer
I believe man suffers from an appalling ignorance of his own nature. I produce my own view in the belief that it may be something like the truth. William Golding
Dean Koontz quote: "The truth was stranger than the official fiction."
The truth was stranger than the official fiction. Dean Koontz
Let us seek truth everywhere; let us cull it wherever we can find its blossomor its SEED. Having Found the seed, let us scatter it to the winds of heaven. Where ever it may blow, it will germinate. There is no lack in this wide universe of soulsthat will form the new ground. Romain Rolland
