Truth was the last thing on my mind, and even if there was such a thing, I didn' t want it in my house. Oedipus went looking for the truth and when he found it, it ruined him. It was a cruel horror of a joke. So much for the truth. I was gonna talk out of both sides of my mouth and what you heard depended on which side you were standing.

People exaggerate the value of things they haven't got. Everybody worships truth and unselfishness because they have no experience with them.

The truth is, hardly any of us have ethical energy enough for more than one really inflexible point of honor.

A man with a grain of faith in God never loses hope, because he ever believes in the ultimate triumph of Truth.

Anything more than the truth would have seemed too weak.

Truth without humility would be an arrogant caricature.
