...and all the people said 'What a shame that he's dead, but wasn't he a most peculiar man?

Yet simple souls, their faith it knows no stint:
Things least to be believed are most preferred.
All counterfeits, as from truth's sacred mint,
Are readily believed if once put down in print

I offer my opponents a bargain: if they will stop telling lies about us, I will stop telling the truth about them

Adlai Stevenson II, American politician and diplomat (1900–1965); 31st governor of Illinois from 1949 to 1953 (1900–1965)

A lie can run round the world before the truth has got its boots on.

They stared at her curiously, and she caught snatches of conversation in two or three languages. It wasn't hard to guess their content, and she smiled a bit primly. Youth, it appeared, was full of illusions as to how much sexual energy two people might have to spare while hiking forty or so kilometers a day, concussed, stunned, diseased, on poor food and little sleep, alternating caring for a wounded man with avoiding becoming dinner for every carnivore within range - and with a coup to plan for the end.

Never judge someone's character based on the words of another. Instead, study the motives behind the words of the person casting the bad judgment. An honest woman can sell tangerines all day and remain a good person until she dies, but there will always be naysayers who will try to convince you otherwise. Perhaps this woman did not give them something for free, or at a discount. Perhaps too, that she refused to stand with them when they were wrong — or just stood up for something she felt was right. And also, it could be that some bitter women are envious of her, or that she rejected the advances of some very proud men. Always trust your heart.

Truth can only be seen by those with truth in them. He who does not have Truth in his heart, will always be blind to her.

Rumours voiced by women come to nothing.

Always remember... Rumors are carried by haters, spread by fools, and accepted by idiots.

If the Creator stood before a million men with the light of a million lamps, only a few would truly see him because truth is already alive in their hearts. Truth can only be seen by those with truth in them. He who does not have Truth in his heart, will always be blind to it.

Tiap bayangan memiliki nama;
Saat memikirkan semua yang kumiliki, aku gelisah,
Kudengar rumor tentang kemasyhuran.
Bukan untuk kebanggaan, melainkan hanya kehinaan,
Bayangan berubah menjadi tulang.

(Allen Ginsberg)
