The very concept of objective truth is fading out of the world. Lies will pass into history.

For a creative writer possession of the 'truth' is less important than emotional sincerity.

In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

Perhaps one did not want to be loved so much as to be understood.

Being in a minority, even in a minority of one, did not make you mad. There was truth and there was untruth, and if you clung to the truth even against the whole world, you were not mad.

Falsehood is so easy, truth so difficult....Examine your words well, and you will find that even when you have no motive to be false, it is a very hard thing to say the exact truth, even about your own immediate feelings -- much harder than to say something fine about them which is not the exact truth.
