Truth is a naked and open daylight, that doth not shew the masks and mummeries and triumphs of the world, half so stately and daintily as candlelights.
Francis Bacon
Truth, as Bergson knew, is a hard apple, whether one is throwing it or catching it.
Donald Barthelme
Truth is simple. They who say that truth is complicated deceive themselves, and the truth is not in them.

The more any man is in the contemplation of truth, the more fairer and firmer impression is made upon his heart by truth.
Thomas Brooks
If you are truthful you will survive. If you lie you shall perish.
al-Walid, Khalid ibn

James Branch Cabell
For truth is precious and divine, Too rich a pearl for carnal swine.
Samuel Butler
There were to be no short cuts to the truth. Instead he would have to adopt a longer, but a reasonably sure method. There would have to be conversation. Much conversation. For in the long run, either through a lie, or through truth, people were bound to give themselves away...
Dame Agatha Mary Clarissa Christie
To live is to experience things, not sit around pondering the meaning of life.
Paulo Coelho
Action is consolatory. It is the enemy of thought and the friend of flattering illusions.
Joseph Conrad
No virtue ever was founded on a lie. The truth, then, at all risks and costs the truth from the beginning. Make a clean breast to whomsoever you need to make it, and then face the world.
