Truthfulness Quotes (page 45)

A scientist can pretend that his work isn't himself, it's merely the impersonal truth. An artist can't hide behind the truth. He can't hide anywhere. Ursula K. Le Guin
No two people see events the same way. Everybody's truth is different. This is my truth. If only there was a world with no pain... Only love. If only there was no fear. If only... Geri Halliwell
For the truth is a terrible thing. You dabble your foot in it and it is nothing. But you walk a little farther and you feel it pull you like an undertow or a whirlpool. First there is the slow pull so steady and gradual you scarcely notice it, then the acceleration, then the dizzy whirl and plunge into darkness. For there is a blackness of truth, too. They say it is a terrible thing to fall into the Grace of God. I am prepared to believe that. Robert Penn Warren
Robbie Williams quote: "You don't want the truth. Truth is boring."
You don't want the truth. Truth is boring. Robbie Williams
Gerald Massey quote: "They must find it difficult, those who have taken authority as..."
They must find it difficult, those who have taken authority as truth, rather than truth as authority. Gerald Massey
There is always need of persons not only to discover new truths, and point out when what were once truths are true no longer, but also to commence new practices, and set the example of more enlightened conduct, and better taste and sense in human life. John Stuart Mill
Mary McCarthy quote: "There are no new truths, but only truths that have not been..."
There are no new truths, but only truths that have not been recognized by those who have perceived them without noticing. Mary McCarthy
We must know the truth; and we must avoid error,--these are our first and great commandments as would-be knowers; but they are not two ways of stating an identical commandment, they are two separable laws. Although it may indeed happen that when we believe the truth A, we escape as an incidental consequence from believing the falsehood B, it hardly ever happens that by merely disbelieving B we necessarily believe A. We may in escaping B fall into believing other falsehoods, C or D, just as... William James
Under torture you are as if under the dominion of those grasses that produce visions. Everything you have heard told, everything you have read returns to your mind, as if you were being transported, not toward heaven, but toward hell. Under torture you say not only what the inquisitor wants, but also what you imagine might please him, because a bond (this, truly, diabolical) is established between you and him ... These things I know, Ubertino; I also have belonged to those groups of men who... Umberto Eco
The term physical is just kinda like an honorific word, kinda like the word 'real' when we say 'the real truth'. It doesn't add anything, it just says 'this is serious truth'. So to say that something is 'physical' today just means 'you gotta take this seriously'. Noam Chomsky
I died for beauty, but was scarce. Adjusted in the tomb, When one who died for truth was lain. In an adjoining room. He questioned softly why I failed?"For beauty," I replied."And I for truth - the two are one; We brethren are," he said. Emily Dickinson
Richard Dawkins quote: "Gravity is not a version of the truth. It is the truth. Anyone..."
Gravity is not a version of the truth. It is the truth. Anyone who doubts it is invited to jump out a tenth-storey window. Richard Dawkins
There was a time in my demented youth. When somehow I suspected that the truth. About survival after death was known. To every human being: I alone. Knew nothing, and a great conspiracy. Of books and people hid the truth from me. Vladimir Nabokov
For the first time in my life I saw the truth as it is set into song by so many poets, proclaimed as the final wisdom by so many thinkers. The truth - that Love is the ultimate and highest goal to which man can aspire. Then I grasped the meaning of the greatest secret that human poetry and human thought and belief have to impart: The salvation of man is through love and in love. Viktor E. Frankl
Diamonds are found only in the dark bowels of the earth; truths are found only in the depths of thought. It seemed to him that after descending into those depths after long groping in the blackest of this darkness, he had at last found one of these diamonds, one of these truths, and that he held it in his hand; and it blinded him to look at it. (pg. 231) Victor Hugo
