Truth Quotes
-
The truth of art consists in its power to break the monopoly that those in power exercise by defining what is real.
Denis Donoghue

... All ideas need to be heard, because each idea contains one aspect of the truth. By examining that aspect, we add to our own idea of the truth. Even ideas that have no truth in them whatsoever are useful because by disproving them, we add support to our own ideas.
John Stuart Mill
-
The qualities of number appear to lead to the apprehension of truth.
Plato

John Ruskin

Tim Ferriss
-
If I open a book and see that the author is accusing an adversary of "infantile leftism" I shut it again right away. That's not my way of doing things; I don't belong to the world of people who do things that way.

Michel Foucault
