“I don't know how to answer. I know what I think, but words in the head are like voices under water. They are distorted. Hearing the words as they hit the surface is sensitive work. You will have to be a bank robber and listen and listen to the little clicks before you can open the safe.”
― Jeanette Winterson, Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit

“Fantasy never becomes ‘truthâ€� regardless of how much you fantasize about it being the truth.”
― Craig D. Lounsbrough

― Craig D. Lounsbrough

“We blindly demand that something be true despite the obvious errancy of whatever self-serving belief we have happened to concoct this time. And when it finally fails us in the manner that it was doomed to do so, we outright deny the failure by blaming it on those who predicted the failure. Yet, until we accept the fact that a ‘predictionâ€� based in the truth that we deny is not a ‘causeâ€� doomed by the errancy we perpetrated, we will continue to fail.”
― Craig D. Lounsbrough

“Simply because someone can give us a host of convincing reasons why something will work does not mean that the thing that they advocate for ever worked or ever will. What did work however, was their ability to distract us from what actually does work.”
― Craig D. Lounsbrough

“Our lives are burdened by the weight of numerous obligations that serve no purpose other than fulfilling our belief that they serve a purpose.”

“A rant is the product of someone attempting to defend the belief that a round peg is a square hole and a square hole is a round peg in order to defend the opinion that each fit the other and can be used interchangeably. But this requires that we explain that all of the damaged holes and broken pegs are neither.”
― Craig D. Lounsbrough

“The world adamantly declares that we should live for things that will actually kill us in the living. And for many, the conviction to believe in these things outweighs the inevitability of the truth that they deny. Yet such is the power of these convictions that the reality of the lies are not even realized at the point that the promises aren’t delivered. Rather, the realization doesn’t happen until the life is over and the world got its way.”
― Craig D. Lounsbrough

― Craig D. Lounsbrough

“A lie is like a tissue paper umbrella. It promises what it can’t do.”
― Craig D. Lounsbrough

― Craig D. Lounsbrough

“Truth is not the friend of the coward.”
― Craig D. Lounsbrough

“Truth is not convenient. It is not lenient nor passive. It is not kind to the selfish. It will never bend to the forgery of propaganda. It is not predisposed to the pacifism of truth compromised. It will wreck political platforms that pen truth out of their policies. And with the invincible morality that is the essence of truth itself, it will see to it that the consequence of any lie is on its way before the lie is on its. Such is the nature of truth for the fool who would embrace the lie that he is sufficiently wise to betray it.”
― Craig D. Lounsbrough

“Truth is the mortuary of propaganda.”
― Craig D. Lounsbrough

“A delusion is fiction scripted as the fact that denies the facts.”
― Craig D. Lounsbrough

“Every lie is a facsimile of the truth created for individuals who choose to live a facsimile of life.”
― Craig D. Lounsbrough
