Truth Quotes
-
All I want is the truth, just give me some truth...
John Lennon
The Beatles
-
Acting a part is not always synonymous with lying; it is far often the best way of serving the truth. It is more truthful to act what we should feel if the community is to be well served rather than behave as we actually do feel in our selfish private feelings.
Elizabeth Goudge
-
In truth we need to change the society itself, men as well as women, to change everything.
Simone de Beauvoir
-
Women love the lie that saves their pride, but never an unflattering truth.
Gertrude Atherton
-
It was miraculous. It was almost no trick at all, he saw, to turn vice into virtue and slander into truth, impotence into abstinence, arrogance into humility, plunder into philanthropy, thievery into honor, blasphemy into wisdom, brutality into patriotism, and sadism into justice. Anybody could do it; it required no brains at all. It merely required no character.
Joseph Heller
-
And I believe what I believe / Is what makes me what I am / I did not make it, no it is making me / It is the very truth of God and not / The invention of any man.
Rich Mullins
-
The truth is that man is one individual with two aspects, just like one line with two ends. If you look at the ends, it is two. If you look at the line, it is one. One end of the line is limited, the other end of the line is unlimited. One end is man, the other end is God.
Hazrat Inayat Khan

I have always considered imaginative truth to be more profound, more loaded with significance, than every day reality... Everything we dream about, and by that I mean everything we desire, is true (the myth of Icarus came before aviation, and if Ader or Bleriot started flying it is because all men have dreamed of flight). There is nothing truer than myth... Reality does not have to be: it is simply what is.
Eugene Ionesco
-
Each thing lives according to its kind; the heart by love, the intellect by truth, the higher nature of man by intimate communion with God.
Edwin Hubbell Chapin

All men wish to have truth on their side; but few to be on the side of truth.
Richard Whately

I don't know how I know that, but I do. I can feel the beat of that truth inside me. Taste it bitter on my tongue. Sometimes, like now, I didn't think I want to know who I really am.
Elizabeth Scott
-
No doubt the truth is hard to come by for those who do not like the sound of it - dreams and illusions are so much more pleasant.
Anatoli Granovsky
-
And as the years have passed, the time has grown longer. The sad truth is that what I could recall in five seconds all too needed ten, then thirty, then a full minute - like shadows lengthening at dusk. Someday, I suppose, the shadows will be swallowed up in darkness.
Haruki Murakami
-
What is the noble truth of suffering? Birth is suffering, ageing is suffering and sorrow and lamentation, pain, grief and despair are suffering.
Gautama Buddha
-
There is nothing more ancient than the truth.
Rene Descartes
-
When you ask someone how they are doing, do you really mean it? When you answer someone back how you are doing, are you really telling the truth?
Brady Quinn
