“The theistic philosopher has a tendency to devalue insufficient worldviews, ideologies, and quite often common sense for the greater good, and in such cases, one should not be discouraged when seen as a bad guy. If he stresses over man's perception of a righteous heart, then he has given his heart to man.”
― Criss Jami, Killosophy

“Tension, in the long run, is a more dangerous force than any feud known to man.”

“Until you guys own your own souls you don't own mine. Until you guys can be trusted every time and always, in all times and conditions, to seek the truth out and find it and let the chips fall where they may—until that time comes, I have the right to listen to my conscience, and protect my client the best way I can. Until I'm sure you won't do him more harm than you'll do the truth good. Or until I'm hauled before somebody that can make me talk.”
― Raymond Chandler, The High Window

“Many people in a rather reckless context claim to 'just tell it like it is'. In actuality, nobody really stresses what one says so much as the motive behind what one says; hence, he is merely blowing hot air and detracting from 'what is'.”
― Criss Jami, Killosophy

“Your value lies not in status or title, but in the roots of your character and depth of your compassion.”
― Mollie Marti

“I'm sorry Elena. I know that you want to help, but put yourself in her shoes, everything that happened tonight was to save you and that's OK because she loves you so much. But somehow she's always the one who gets hurt.”
― L.J. Smith, Vreden och Återkomsten

“Truth and integrity must be so rare these days that it confuses people when they hear it.”
― Donna Lynn Hope

“The fact is that nothing is more difficult to believe than the truth; conversely, nothing seduces like the power of lies, the greater the better. It's only natural, and you will have to find the right balance. Having said that, let me add that this particular old woman hasn't been collecting only years; she has also collected stories, and none sadder or more terrible than the one she's about to tell you. You have been at the heart of this story without knowing it until today ...”
― Carlos Ruiz Zafón, The Midnight Palace

“Nature is an outcry, unpolished truth; the art—a euphemism—tamed wilderness.”
― Dejan Stojanovic

“The trick to forgetting the big picture is to look at everything close-up. The shortcut to closing a door is to bury yourself in the details. This is how we must look to God. As if everything's just fine.”
― Chuck Palahniuk

“But try to remember that a good man can never die. You will see your brother many times again-in the streets, at home, in all the places of the town. The person of a man may go, but the best part of him stays. It stays forever.”
― William Saroyan

“Ah, it is impossible."

"No, it is only very difficult - so very difficult that I shall be sure to accomplish it!”

“Intuition is the art of the moment. Intuition is always in the moment, in the here and now. While the intellect always moves like the pendulum of a clock between the memories of the past and the fantasies of the future, intuition is always in the moment, always in the here and now. The more we develop our inner being, the inner source of love and truth, the inner quality of being here and now, the more we also have access to our intuition.”
― Swami Dhyan Giten, Presence - Working from Within. The Psychology of Being

“Truth  is that we all need facts we cannot continue to eat only the food that is given to us. Sometimes we have to feed ourselves otherwise we set our self up for dependency on the wrong nutrition without realizing that we were being poisoned the whole time.”
― R. Lewis

“I tell you the truth, a man may not make himself king; only the blessing of him who holds the kingship can elevate a man to that high place. For sovereignty is a sacred trust that may not be bartered or sold; still less may it be stolen or taken by force.”
― Stephen R. Lawhead, The Paradise War

“The whispering of the truth is stronger than the thunderstorm of the untruth!”
― Mehmet Murat ildan

“The media insists on taking what someone didn't mean to say as being far closer to the truth than what they did.”
― Alain de Botton

“My life is my testimony.”
― L.M. Fields

“For people never say anything the same way twice; no two of them ever say it the same. The greatest imaginative writer that ever brooded in a lavender robe and a mellowed briar in his teeth, couldn't tell you, though e try for a lifetime, how the simplest strap-hanger will ask the conductor to be let off at the next stop. ...
It is all for the taking. All the manuals by frustrated fictioneers on how to write can't give you the first syllable of reality, at any cot, that any common conversation can. All the classics, read and re-read, can't help you catch the ring of truth as does the word heard first-hand.”
― Nelson Algren, Entrapment and Other Writings

“Whenever you don't know someone and you overhear their problems they always sound so trivial.”
― Cat Agonis

“Its not how strong you are, its how firm your footing is.”
― Clive Ollies

“When an uninstructed multitude attempts to see with its eyes, it is exceedingly apt to be deceived. When, however, it forms its judgment, as it usually does, on the intuitions of its great and warm heart, the conclusions thus attained are often so profound and so unerring as to possess the character of truth supernaturally revealed.”
― Nathaniel Hawthorne, The Scarlet Letter

“What seems real one moment is fiction the next
and gone out of existence the moment after that.
Nostalgia is the greatest enemy of truth,
and change our only constancy.”
― David Budbill, Judevine: The Complete Poems, 1970-1990

“Things difficult - almost to impossibility - can always be accomplished. Write that upon your tablets, for it is a valuable truth.”
― E.D.E.N. Southworth, Capitola's Peril

“Somehow the idyllic existence I envisioned never quite came to pass, but aside from the occasional culinary disaster, my marriage wasn't bad.”
― Alexandra Bogdanovic, Truth Be Told: Adam Becomes Audrey

“With faith, you may get stuck in a very big lie and may lose the truth forever; but with doubt, you can always reach the truth!”
― Mehmet Murat ildan

“Heads will fly all over the place, others will explode by themselves, everyone will have their chance to betray, and those who don't betray will be betrayed.”
― Sandro Veronesi, Quiet Chaos

“The cold rationalism simply covers for raw, wounded emotion. The more driven people are by the mind, the more they feel and further encode their feelings. The thickness of the tarpaulin cover is as the size of the emotion.”
― Dalit Orbach, בדידותו של קורא המחשבות
