Truth

"We know this by patient and long continued investigations - the surface of water is a LEVEL SURFACE. This is the key which is unlocking the minds of the people and letting in a flood of light upon the question of the shape of the earth. We know consequently that the surface of earth is a plane surface and that the earth itself can NOT be a globe." John Hampden

"The greatest triumphs of man were those in which his mind had to free itself from the influence of delusive appearances.[...] An unalterable rotational velocity thru all phases of planetary evolution is manifestly impossible. [...] The truth is, the so-called “axial rotation” of the moon is a phenomenon deceptive alike to the eye and mind and devoid of physical meaning. [...] The moon does rotate, not on its own, but about an axis passing thru the center of the earth, the true and only one." Nikola Tesla

"The most common lie is that which one lies to himself; lying to others is relatively an exception." Friedrich Nietzsche

"Convictions are more dangerous foes of truth than lies." Friedrich Nietzsche

"Faith: not wanting to know what is true." Friedrich Nietzsche

"The last war among men will be a war for truth. This war will be in every single person. War - with its own ignorance, aggression, irritation. And only a radical transformation of each individual person can become the beginning of a peaceful life for all people." Nikolaus Roerich

"Reality is a magic lady, sometimes very mysterious. To me she is very passionate. She is real not only when she is awake, walking down the streets, but also at night when she is dreaming or when she is having nightmares. When I am writing, I am always paying tribute to her - to that lady called Reality." Eduardo Galeano

"I am becoming more and more horrified by what is being served to us here as the truth. If you compare it to a beer, perhaps two to ten percent of it is actually beer; the rest is just a head of foam. And that is not even what really upsets me. Much worse is that the beer has already been watered down before it is even poured. What frightens me is not that we are being served watered-down truth. What frightens me is how many people still seem to like the taste of it." yoice.net

"For true love is inexhaustible; the more you give, the more you have. And if you go to draw at the true fountainhead, the more water you draw, the more abundant is its flow." Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

"There are more truths in a good book than its author meant to put in it." Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach

"Seize the moments of happiness, love and be loved! That is the only reality in the world, all else is folly." Leo Tolstoi

"There is no greatness where there is no simplicity, goodness and truth." Leo Tolstoi

"Truth, like gold, is to be obtained not by its growth, but by washing away from it all that is not gold." Leo Tolstoi

"If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything." Mark Twain
