Grow your tree of falsehood from a small grain of truth. Do not follow those who lie in contempt of reality. Let your lie be even more logical than the truth itself, so the weary travelers may find repose. Czeslaw Milosz
It is a great mystery that though the human heart longs for Truth, in which alone it finds liberation and delight, the first reaction of human beings to Truth is one of hostility and fear! Anthony de Mello
In fact men will fight for a superstition quite as quickly as for a living truth - often more so, since a superstition is so intangible you cannot get at it to refute it, but truth is a point of view, and so is changeable. Hypatia
Thomas Huxley quote: "The more rapidly truth is spread among mankind the better it..."
The more rapidly truth is spread among mankind the better it will be for them. Only let us be sure that it is the truth. Thomas Huxley
Thomas Huxley quote: "Freedom and order are not incompatible... truth is strength......"
Freedom and order are not incompatible... truth is strength... free discussion is the very life of truth. Thomas Huxley
Aldous Huxley quote: "You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you mad."
You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you mad. Aldous Huxley
