Friedrich Nietzsche
  • We have art in order not to die of the truth.

  • One may sometimes tell a lie, but the grimace that accompanies it tells the truth.

  • Art is not merely an imitation of the reality of nature, but in truth a metaphysical supplement to the reality of nature, placed alongside thereof for its conquest.

  • Convictions are more dangerous foes of truth than lies.

  • All truth is simple... is that not doubly a lie?
