Truth Quotes
-

It is certainly not then-not in dreams- but when one is wide awake, at moments of robust joy and achievement, on the highest terrace of consciousness, that mortality has a chance to peer beyond its own limits, from the mast, from the past and its castle tower. And although nothing much can be seen through the mist, there is somehow the blissful feeling that one is looking in the right direction.
Vladimir Nabokov

Florida Scott-Maxwell

The panelists on To Tell The Truth, which is the one that I really knew, they cared about getting it right. They wanted to guess, you know?
