Truth

"It is error alone which needs the support of government. Truth can stand by itself."

"Fanatics can justify practically any atrocity to themselves. The more untenable their position becomes, the harder they hold to it, and the worse the things they are willing to do to support it."

"He drew the dagger and laid it on the table between them; a length of dragonbone and Valyrian steel, as sharp as the difference between right and wrong, between true and false, between life and death."

"Purity of heart is what enables us to see."

"A woman who surrenders her freedom need not surrender her dignity."

"Could it have been anyone, or was it destiny? When I'm considering this I find it helpful to quote the wisdom of my father, who once told me, "Who knows why the fuck anything happens?"

"So this is where all the vapid talk about the 'soul' of the universe is actually headed. Once the hard-won principles of reason and science have been discredited, the world will not pass into the hands of credulous herbivores who keep crystals by their sides and swoon over the poems of Khalil Gibran. The 'vacuum' will be invaded instead by determined fundamentalists of every stripe who already know the truth by means of revelation and who actually seek real and serious power in the here and now. One thinks of the painstaking, cloud-dispelling labor of British scientists from Isaac Newton to Joseph Priestley to Charles Darwin to Ernest Rutherford to Alan Turing and Francis Crick, much of it built upon the shoulders of Galileo and Copernicus, only to see it casually slandered by a moral and intellectual weakling from the usurping House of Hanover. An awful embarrassment awaits the British if they do not declare for a republic based on verifiable laws and principles, both political and scientific."

"When you have money in hand,only you forget who are you . But when you do not have any money in your hand,the whole world forget who you are. It's life."

"People have their own reasons for dying. It might look simple, but it never is. It's just like a rock. What's above ground is only a small part of it. But if you start pulling, it keeps coming and coming. The human mind dwells deep in darkness. Only the person himself knows the real reason, and maybe not even then."

"It was hard to live normally when you were constantly pretending you didn't see what was going on in front of your face."

"I was bold in the pursuit of knowledge, never fearing to follow truth and reason to whatever results they led."

"Truth does not sit in a cave and hide like a lie. It wanders around proudly and roars loudly like a lion."

"To cheapen the lives of any group of men, cheapens the lives of all men, even our own. This is a law of human psychology, or human nature. And it will not be repealed by our wishes, nor will it be merciful to our blindness."

"The biggest changes in a women's nature are brought by love; in man, by ambition"

"We are all wonderful, beautiful wrecks. That's what connects us--that we're all broken, all beautifully imperfect."

"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed."

"Truth is handsomer than the affectation of love. Your goodness must have some edge to it--else it is none."

"One truth doesn't refute another. Truth doesn't lie in the object, but in how we see it."

"I would rather die an individual than live my life as a clone."

"His whole life was a sham, a fairy tale. The truth hidden behind a wall of lies, each lie another brick in the wall until he probably couldn't see the truth anymore."
