Truth

"The bullshitter is neither on the side of the true or the side of the false. His eye is not on the facts at all. He does not reject the authority of the truth, as the liar does, and oppose himself to it. He pays no attention to it at all. By virtue of this, bullshit is a greater enemy of the truth than lies are." Harry Gordon Frankfurt

"Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one." Albert Einstein

"The fact about himself that the liar hides is that he is attempting to lead us away from a correct apprehension of reality; we are not to know that he wants us to believe something he supposes to be false. The fact about himself that the bullshitter hides, on the other hand, is that the truth-values of his statements are of no central interest to him . . . He does not care whether the things he says describe reality correctly. He just picks them out, or makes them up, to suit his purpose." Harry Gordon Frankfurt

"The public will believe anything, so long as it is not founded on truth." Dame Edith Louisa Sitwell

"All things are subject to interpretation whichever interpretation prevails at a given time is a function of power and not truth." Friedrich Nietzsche

"Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; Truth isn't." Mark Twain

"Very often, all the activity of the human mind is directed not in revealing the truth, but in hiding the truth" Leo Tolstoi

"To understand the actual world as it is, not as we should wish it to be, is the beginning of wisdom." Bertrand Russell

"The key to happiness is accepting one unpleasant reality every day." Bertrand Russell

"If you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it, and you will even come to believe it yourself." Joseph Goebbels

"A lie told once remains a lie but a lie told a thousand times becomes the truth" Joseph Goebbels

"There will come a day, when all the lies will collapse under their own weight, and truth will again triumph." Joseph Goebbels

"There's just some magic in truth and honesty and openness." Frank Ocean

"Once I catch you in one lie, it makes me question everything you said." Frank Ocean
