We swallow greedily any lie that flatters us, but we sip only little by little at a truth we find bitter.

I preach there are all kinds of truth, your truth and somebody else's. But behind all of them there is only one truth and that is that there's no truth.

There are only two people who can tell you the truth about yourself - an enemy who has lost his temper and a friend who loves you dearly.

The first reaction to truth is hatred.

Human love has little regard for the truth. It makes the truth relative, since nothing, not even the truth, must come between it and the beloved person.
