The monotony and solitude of a quiet life stimulates the creative mind.

Fiction is the lie through which we tell the truth.

I speak the truth not so much as I would, but as much as I dare, and I dare a little more as I grow older.

I do not want the peace which passeth understanding, I want the understanding which bringeth peace.

It is not truth that matters, but victory

Man is always prey to his truths. Once he has admitted them, he cannot free himself from them.

Anything worth doing is worth doing slowly.

Truth is on the side of the oppressed.

Truth is a tendency.

Tell the truth boldly, whether it hurts or not. Never pander to weakness. If truth is too much for intelligent people and sweeps them away, let them go; the sooner the better.

Truth is ever to be found in the simplicity, and not in the multiplicity and confusion of things.

There's a world of difference between truth and facts. Facts can obscure truth.

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

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

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

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