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

The truth is on the march and nothing will stop it.

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.

Mistakes are, after all, the foundations of truth, and if a man does not know what a thing is, it is at least an increase in knowledge if he knows what it is not.

God's truth judges created things out of love, and Satan's truth judges them out of envy and hatred.
