I believe the truth is only offensive when we're lying.

The only time they tell the truth is when they admit that they are lying.

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

Sometimes it’s difficult in politics to actually tell the truth.

How terribly hard and almost impossible it is to tell the truth. More than anything else, the artist in us prevents us from telling aught as it really happened. We deal with the truth as the cook deals with meat and vegetables.

In my painful experience, the truth may be simple, but it is rarely easy.

Truth — Something somehow discreditable to someone.

The truth is the truth. You tell it even when it hurts or it loses value even when it doesn’t.

Sometimes the truth is stupid.

To me, the truth is what actually happened. Yet it is impossible to know anything approaching the whole truth about past events. Even the people living them could not possibly understand. That truth is always out of reach.

Many of you have already found out, and others will find out in the course of their lives, that truth eludes us if we do not concentrate our attention totally on it's pursuit. But even while it eludes us, the illusion of knowing it still lingers and leads to many misunderstandings. Also, truth seldom is pleasant; it is almost invariably bitter.

In morals, truth is but little prized when it is a mere sentiment, and only attains its full value when realized in the world as fact.

Truth is so hard to tell, it sometimes needs fiction to make it plausible.

Truth is only belived when someone has invented it well.
