Truth Quotes

I can't speak for readers in general, but personally I like to read stories behind which there is some truth, something real and above all, something emotional. I don't like to read essays on literature; I don't like to read critical or rational or impersonal or cold disquisitions on subjects.

Go, Soul, the body’s guest,Upon a thankless arrant:Fear not to touch the best;The truth shall be thy warrant:Go, since I needs must die,And give the world the lie.Say to the court, it glows.And shines like rotten wood;Say to the church, it showsWhat’s good, and doth no good:If church and court reply,Then give them both the lie.
