"Infinite Jest"
A thing is not necessarily true because a man dies for it.
-Oscar Wilde
The truth is rarely pure and never simple.
-Oscar Wilde
There are ways from light into darkness and from darkness into light. There are ways, also, from the gloom into deeper darkness, and from the dawn into brighter light. The wise man will use the light he has to receive more light. He will constantly advance in the knowledge of truth.
Truth can be stated in a thousand different ways, yet each one can be true.
-Swami Vivekananda
All great truths begin as blasphemies.
-George Bernard Shaw
"Truth" is not an act done at the physical level or an act performed driven by
emotions. Truth is the outcome of that particular action. If someone has used
abusive language for your betterment, then how did he abuse you?... He has
only desired a positive change in you.
-Deep Trivedi
When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable must be the truth.
-Arthur Conan Doyle
