Everything should be as simple as it is, but not simpler.

I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.

Don't keep a man guessing too long - he's sure to find the answer somewhere else

Truth is a tendency.

Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.

Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored.

No one lights a lamp and puts it in a place where it will be hidden, or under a bowl. Instead he puts it on its stand, so that those who come in may see the light.

Of life's two chief prizes, beauty and truth, I found the first in a loving heart and the second in a laborer's hand.

Fiction is the lie through which we tell the truth.

If you have no critics you'll likely have no success.

Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth.

The pure and simple truth is rarely pure and never simple.

Those who cry the loudest are not always the ones who are hurt the most.

There is nothing true anywhere, The true is nowhere to be seen; If you say you see the true, This seeing is not the true one.

Never tell the truth to people who are not worthy of it.

If you're not ready to die for it, take the word 'freedom' out of your vocabulary.

Sometimes the truth hurts. And sometimes it feels real good.

How dreadful knowledge of the truth can be when there's no help in the truth.

Rats and roaches live by competition under the laws of supply and demand; it is the privilege of human beings to live under the laws of justice and mercy.

It is truth that liberates, not your effort to be free.

It takes a certain ingenuous faith- but I have it -to believe that people who read and reflect more likely than not come to judge things with liberality and truth.
