The truth is a snare: you cannot have it, without being caught. You cannot have the truth in such a way that you catch it, but only in such a way that it catches you.
-Søren Kierkegaard
Quotations
Truth
The truth is not for all men but only for those who seek it.
-Ayn Rand
Man, in truth, is himself a sacrifice.
- Upanishads "Chandogya Upanishad 3.16.1"
There are truths which one can only say after having won the right to say them.
-Jean Cocteau
True wisdom is less presuming than folly. The wise man doubteth often, and changeth his mind; the fool is obstinate, and doubteth not; he knoweth all things but his own ignorance… To be satisfied with a little, is the greatest wisdom; and he that increaseth his riches, increaseth his cares; but a contented mind is a hidden treasure, and trouble findeth it not.
-Akhenation "Akhenation, 14 century Egyptian king"
Truth, being limitless, unconditioned, unapproachable by any path whatsoever, cannot be organised; nor should any organisation be formed to lead or to coerce people along any particular path.
-J. Krishnamurti "J. Krishnamurti"
He who knows nothing is closer to the truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods and errors.
-Thomas Jefferson
There's a world of difference between truth and facts. Facts can obscure truth.
-Maya Angelou
In the lie of truth lies the truth.
-Dejan Stojanović
The truth is rarely pure and never simple.
-Oscar Wilde
