Truth

"The hard truths are the ones to hold tight.-The Old Bear, A Game of Thrones"

"The truth hurts sometimes. If we are going to be taught by God, the fisherman, we first need to be captured by Him. And His hook is going to have a bite. Of course, it's going to hurt. The truth hurts when we are sinners and when we acknowledge we are not surrendering to the truth."

"Truth is a bubble and hard to hold on to."

"What is true today may be false tomorrow, and true again the day after tomorrow."

"If you lie to yourself, you become your worst enemy, attacking from inside. (from The Amazing You movie)"

"Your heart doesn't care about being easy. Your heart only cares about what's true for you."

"Changing the external conditions of your lives - earn more money, be in a better physical shape, have another partner or travel more - will not change how you feel. It never works because the emptiness is not around, is within. The only way to come back to life is to acknowledge that little voice rising from your heart and begging you to return to love, to return to truth."

"To love is to communicate, and you can communicate only in truth. Speak the truth, and speak it with love."

"The only way to make your dreams a reality is to live your truth. To embrace your truth, and embrace it with love."

"All you have to do is decide moment by moment which voice you listen to: the Truth of Love or the nightmare of fear."

"-Хүү минь, чи надад ямар ч өргүй гэж бодож явах эрхийг би чамд олголоо."

"Lore is my favorite kind of story. Because it's not only historical, it's a lie everyone knows is a lie but tells anyway. I love that. Of course every story I tell is true. Completely true. Completely and utterly at least five-eighths of the way to being true, which is truer than any piece of lore and truer than most truths you'll hear."

"The world was in truth made of jackstraws. The world was very combustible, the human body was partible in ways heretofore unimagined. What held the civilized world together was the thinnest tissue of nothing but human will. Civilization was not in the natural order but was some wort of willed invention held taut like a fabric or a sail against the chaos of the winds. And why we had invented it, or how we knew to invent it, was beyond him. Newmann had seen some truth that was completely out of his power to put into words. But he had come away knowing that even though the world of civilization was made of straw and lantern slides, he must live in it as if it were solid. Even when the heat of the lantern itself burnt away the illusions and a black hole appeared in the middle of the slide."

"Men are apt to prefer a prosperous error before an afflicted truth"

"If wishes were held on the skin and swiped by raindrops, then emotions were freeloading off the cells that made up their space. The only offering these cells ever entertained was truth, painful and raw."

"She had always told herself that she did hti job because she wanted to help others; afterall, hadn't Maurice told her once that the most important question any individual could ask was, "How might I serve" If her response to that question had been pure, surely she would have coninued with the calling to be a nurse... But that role hadn't been quite enough for her. She would have missed the excitement, the thrill when she embarked on the work of collecting clues to support a case."

"Morality only is eternal. All the rest is balloon and bubble from the cradle to the grave."

"Be not so bigoted to any custom as to worship it at the expense of truth."

"The case for the humanities is not hard to make, though it can be difficult--to such an extent have we been marginalized, so long have we acceded to that marginalization--not to sound either defensive or naive. The humanities, done right, are the crucible in which our evolving notions of what it means to be fully human are put to the test; they teach us, incrementally, endlessly, not what to do, but how to be. Their method is confrontational, their domain unlimited, their "product" not truth but the reasoned search for truth, their "success" something very much like Frost's momentary stay against confusion."

"Failure is a fuel for excuses."
