Art is magic delivered from the lie of being truth.
- quote by Theodor Adorno
At every step one has to wrestle for truth; one has to surrender for it almost everything to which the heart, to which our love, our trust in life, cling otherwise. That requires greatness of soul: the service of truth is the hardest service. What does it mean, after all, to have integrity in matters of the spirit? That one is severe against one's heart...that one makes of every Yes and No a matter of conscience.
- quote by Friedrich Nietzsche
At times the truth shines so brilliantly that we perceive it as clear as day. Our nature and habit then draw a veil over our perception, and we return to a darkness almost as dense as before.
- quote by Maimonides
At times truth may not seem probable.
- quote by Nicolas Boileau-Despréaux
- quote by John Keats
Better be cheated to the last, Than lose the blessed hope of truth.
- quote by Fanny Kemble
But 'tis strange: And oftentimes, to win us to our harm, The instruments of darkness tell us truths, Win us with honest trifles, to betray's In deepest consequence.
- quote by William Shakespeare
But no pleasure is comparable to standing upon the vantage ground of truth.
- quote by Francis Bacon
- quote by George MacDonald
But what is truth? 'Twas Pilate's question put To Truth itself, that deign'd him no reply.
- quote by William Cowper
