The Truth Is Not Always Beautiful Nor Beautiful

“The truth is rarely pure and never simple.”

“Sometimes it is harder to accede to a thing than it is to see its truth.”

“Truth is handsomer than the affectation of love. Your goodness must have some edge to it--else it is none.”

“Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.”

“With the truth, all given facts harmonize; but with what is false, the truth soon hits a wrong note.”

“Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; Truth isn't.”
