Truth Is

Expressing truth is hard work.

The truth is lived, not taught.

Not when truth is dirty, but when it is shallow, does the enlightened man dislike to wade into its waters.

The truth is a snare: you cannot have it, without being caught. You cannot have the truth in such a way that you catch it, but only in such a way that it catches you.

Truth is not only violated by falsehood it may be equally outraged by silence.

The truth is that life is delicious, horrible, charming, frightful, sweet, bitter, and that is everything.

For truth is always strange stranger than fiction.

Truth is what works.

For a creative writer possession of the 'truth' is less important than emotional sincerity.

When truth is discovered by someone else, it loses something of its attractiveness.

The truth is in nature, and I shall prove it.

The truth is balance. However the opposite of truth, which is unbalance, may not be a lie.

I used to say that the Constitution is not a living document. It's dead, dead, dead. But I've gotten better. I no longer say that. The truth is that the Constitution is not one that morphs. It's an enduring Constitution, not a changing Constitution. That is what I've meant when I've said that the Constitution is dead.

The least initial deviation from the truth is multiplied later a thousandfold.

Any truth is better than indefinite doubt.

Who never doubted, never half believed. Where doubt is, there truth is - it is her shadow.

I used to be more paranoid and stressed, constantly worrying about my Plan B. But the truth is I don't have one.

Truth is simply a compliment paid to sentences seen to be paying their way.
