This is the first step in using the truth as a scalpel: You find that the injustice that created a wound is no longer true, right now, in this moment. You discover that perhaps what you believe hurt you so badly was never true. Even if it was true, it doesn’t mean that now it is true. By using the truth, you open the wound and see the injustice from a new perspective.

Wit is a sword; it is meant to make people feel the point as well as see it.

At least I don't need a sword to kick ass and take names, alright

A dagger has only a single point, but a traitor cuts from anywhere.

Religion is like a knife: you can either use it to cut bread, or stick in someone's back.

Power is a knife

Though the pen is mightier than the sword, the sword speaks louder and stronger at any given moment.

Tell the truth, but tell it slant.

Sometimes I’ll forget a utensil’s name, and I’ll say, “Give me that pointy thing,” as I point with my pointy finger.

Cut not fire with a sword.

Say what you have to say, not what you ought. Any truth is better than make-believe.

Critical words cut like a knife. And sarcasm is the same knife with a pearl handle.

The truth is like a lion. You don't have to defend it. Let it loose. It will defend itself.

But a knife ain't just a thing, is it? It's a choice, it's something you do. A knife says yes or no, cut or not, die or don't. A knife takes a decision out of your hand and puts it in the world and it never goes back again.
