The Thing About Dead People The Thing Is You Sound

“A thing is not necessarily true because a man dies for it.”

“He was a lonely ghost uttering a truth that nobody would ever hear. But so long as he uttered it, in some obscure way the continuity was not broken. It was not by making yourself heard but by staying sane that you carried on the human heritage.”

“Don’t grieve when people fail to recognize your ability. Grieve for your lack of ability instead.”

“Similarly with regard to truth, won't we say that a soul is maimed if it hates a voluntary falsehood, cannot endure to have one in itself, and is greatly angered when it exists in others, but is nonetheless content to accept an involuntary falsehood, isn't angry when it is caught being ignorant, and bears its lack of learning easily, wallowing in it like a pig?”

“I could die for you. But I couldn't, and wouldn't, live for you.”

Whoever is careless with the truth in small matters cannot be trusted with important matters
