La vérité est si obscurcie en ces temps et le mensonge si établi, qu'à moins d'aimer la vérité, on ne saurait la reconnaître.

We do not know the truth. But sometimes we get a glimpse of the shadow of the truth. And where there is a shadow, somewhere there must be light.

There's more beauty in truth, even if it is dreadful beauty.

Plus notre être devient transparent à la lumière, plus lui sont imparties de vérités.

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

Cinéma-vérité? I prefer 'cine-mendacity'. A lie is always more interesting than the truth...Fiction may have a greater truth than everyday, obvious reality.'''

Le vrai peut quelquefois n'être pas vraisemblable.

Behind one truth there is always yet another.

Cependant quelquefois la vérité nous effraye.

I incline to the belief that in the light of eternity all our truths are shadows, and that the very truth we shall only know hereafter. Yet I think that every truth in its own place is a substance, though it may be a shadow in another place. And I think that all such shadows have value for our souls, for each is a true shadow, as the substance is a true substance.

The truth, however ugly in itself, is always curious and beautiful to seekers after it.

Light is every bit as challenging as dark. We can discover a great deal about ourselves by looking at beauty.

I have learned things in the dark that I could never have learned in the light, things that have saved my life over and over again, so that there is really only one logical conclusion. I need darkness as much as I need light.

For truth is always strange; stranger than fiction.
