truth

"You can safely assume you've created God in your own image when it turns out that God hates all the same people you do."

"Apparently people don't like the truth, but I do like it; I like it because it upsets a lot of people. If you show them enough times that their arguments are bullshit, then maybe just once, one of them will say, 'Oh! Wait a minute - I was wrong.' I live for that happening. Rare, I assure you"

"I always make sure that the world will prove me right. It gives me the freedom to contradict myself."

"All I do is lie, and that has made me immune to compliments."

"I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the sea-shore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me."

"The past has no power over the present moment."

"In this treacherous worldNothing is the truth nor a lie.Everything depends on the colorOf the crystal through which one sees it"

"Knowing can be a curse on a person's life. I'd traded in a pack of lies for a pack of truth, and I didn't know which one was heavier. Which one took the most strength to carry around? It was a ridiculous question, though, because once you know the truth, you can't ever go back and pick up your suitcase of lies. Heavier or not, the truth is yours now."

"I think it's impossible to really understand somebody, what they want, what they believe, and not love them the way they love themselves."

"If what he said was the truth, it broke her heart. If what he said was a lie, it was broken anyway."

"Truth is a matter of the imagination."

"This is what comes of having a heart, even a very small and young one. It causes no end of trouble, and that’s the truth."

"My head’ll explode if I continue with this escapism."

"The naked truth is anything but naked. But it will be soon enough, if I keep giving it alcohol."

"He was a lonely ghost uttering a truth that nobody would ever hear."

"Scared is what you're feeling. Brave is what you're doing."

"There's a bluebird in my heart that wants to get outbut I'm too tough for him,I say, stay in there, I'm not going to let anybody see you."

"Before I die, I want to change my name to "Here,"so that my tombstone could simply read, "Here lies."And then people who knew me could walk by, shake their head, and say, "Ain't that the truth."

"When you cut pieces out of the truth to avoid looking like a fool you end up looking like a moron instead."

"Death destroys a man: the idea of Death saves him."
