“What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.”
― A.W. Tozer

“Sometimes I go to God and say, "God, if Thou dost never answer another prayer while I live on this earth, I will still worship Thee as long as I live and in the ages to come for what Thou hast done already. God’s already put me so far in debt that if I were to live one million millenniums I couldn’t pay Him for what He’s done for me.”
― A.W. Tozer

“Being happy or unhappy - is that really the most important thing? Knowing the truth would be a different kind of happiness - a more satisfying kind, I think, even if it turned out to be a sad kind.”
― Ira Levin, This Perfect Day

“When you are posessed by evil spirits, it is crafty manipulations that you follow; but when you are posessed by the Holy Spirit of God, it is wise discretions you pursue!”

“So from then on, he looked at all his choices and said, What would a good person do, and then did it. But he has now learned something very important about human nature. If you spend your whole life pretending to be good, then you are indistinguishable from a good person. Relentless hypocrisy eventually becomes the truth.”
― Orson Scott Card, Ender in Exile

“If anything or anyone removes peace from you or inflicts confusion and judgment on you, this thing or person is not of God regardless of whether or not that person or thing has wrapped itself/himself in the wrapping paper with God's face printed all over it. Don't stop believing in God but stop believing in that person, in that thing. The wrapping paper with God's face stamped all over it isn't really God.”
― C. JoyBell C.

“In fact he was incurably insane and hallucinated more or less continuously, but by a remarkable stroke of lateral thinking his fellow wizards had reasoned that, in that case, the whole business could be sorted out if only they could find a formula that caused him to hallucinate that he was completely sane.*

*This is a very common hallucination, shared by most people.”
― Terry Pratchett, The Truth: Stage Adaptation

“Once you say you're going to settle for second, that's what happens to you in life, I find.

“But the truth is that no person ever understands another, from beginning to end of life, there is no truth that can be known, only the story we imagine to be true, the story they really believe to be true about themselves; and all of them lies.”
― Orson Scott Card, Children of the Mind

“Right person, wrong timing doesn’t mean God was wrong. It means you were there at the right time to fulfill something else. Look for it.”
― Shannon L. Alder

“There is no other way to determine the difference between the will of God and the crafts of satan... Jesus is the way, the truth and the life... The Holy Spirit of God is the Comforter...”
― Israelmore Ayivor

“We love books because they are the greatest escape. That is because our own minds eye is the purest form of virtual reality.”

“There are, it has been said, two types of people in the world. There are those who, when presented with a glass that is exactly half full, say: this glass is half full. And then there are those who say: this glass is half empty.

The world belongs, however, to those who can look at the glass and say: What's up with this glass? Excuse me? Excuse me? This is my glass? I don't think so. My glass was full! And it was a bigger glass! Who's been pinching my beer?”
― Terry Pratchett

“As the winds of change continue blowing, our thoughts, concepts and everything in life continue to change. There is only one thing that continues to resist change and it doesn't seem to care about change, holding humans back: the absolute truth.”
― Mouloud Benzadi

“The truth." Dumbledore sighed. "It is a beautiful and terrible thing, and should therefore be treated with great caution. However, I shall answer your questions unless I have a very good reason not to, in which case I beg you'll forgive me. I shall not, of course, lie.”
― J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

“The truth was very costly at times. How terrible, to navigate the world without a story to comfort you.”
― Ava Reid, A Study in Drowning

“Shaikh Ahmad of Sirhind (1563-1624) discussed it within the canon of theological tradition and held that ana al-haqq was a situational statement and that it represented a quality of authentic experience. The Shaikh suggested that ana—the personal "I," and al-haqq, the Truth, had no reference to a unitive condition, in fact; al-haqq completely surrounded the consciousness of the contemplative ego. Placed in this state the ana could only know the surrounding al-haqq—and simultaneously lose its own identity. It was in fact the loss of personal identity which gave significance to Hallaj's statement. The Shaikh held that ana al-haqq did not have any reference to unification either with the Divine Essence or its Attribute. Thus, ana al-haqq, as "I am the Truth," was categorically discarded by the Shaikh who interpretted the phrases as affirmation by negation. According to him, ana al-haqq did not carry the affirmatory meaning of "I am the Truth," but simply made the statement that, "I am not, He only is". Without negation of the self, the affirmation of Divine Truth remains unresolved. Hallaj had in fact affirmed the faith through negation of the contemplative ego.”

“...more times than not, people really didn't want the answers they sought, and the truth of what was to come was often far more destructive than a lie.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, Fall of Ruin and Wrath

“The truth is hard. It's complicated. It does not always follow a simple structure. It is not always convenient. That's why sometimes we do our best to leave it out of the story for as long as possible. We choose to let it linger in the corners, we don't spotlight it. But eventually, it catches up to us. Of course it does.
You can run but you can't hide.

“I went through the device and she told me it will only make me more upset, I told her no it wont because I don't care. And now I see if I didnt care I wouldn't be going through. Best way not to care. Is to only care for yourself, self-care. Don't worry about the rest. Let her do whatever she is going to do. Don't block anyone else. Because it is a waste of time. A hoe is a hoe. The past the past. Just know that are subjected to everyone she sees she will seem like she is trusting and loyal. But, in the back of your head you know and have seen the truth.”
― I have trust issues

“...what did I believe about truth? That it often could be terrifying, yes. But with truth came power.

And I was never one to hide from the truth.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, From Blood and Ash

“Stop living in the limits you call "the truth". You can't use a " fixed mindset" to function in a world where nothing is fixed.”
― Chidi Ejeagba

“Your breaths are jewels, each atom is a guide
To lead you to the Truth, and glorified
From head to foot with His great wealth you stand;
Oh, if you could entirely understand
Your absence from Him, then you would not wait
Inured by patience to your wretched fate
God nourished you in love and holy pride,
But ignorance detains you from His side.”
― Attar of Nishapur, The Conference of the Birds

“The Germans and Carlyle have perverted both thought and phraseology when they made the Artist the term for expressing the highest order of moral and intellectual greatness. The older idea is the truer- that Art, in relation to Truth, is but a language. Philosophy is the proper name for that exercise of the intellect which enucleates the truth to be expressed. The Artist is not the Seer; not he who can detect truth, but he who can clothe a given truth in the most expressive and impressive symbols.”
― John Stuart Mill, Collected Works of John Stuart Mill

The Truth is known only when all is seen.
