The trouble with lying and deceiving is that their efficiency depends entirely upon a clear notion of the truth that the liar and deceiver wishes to hide. In this sense, truth, even if it does not prevail in public, possesses an ineradicable primacy over all falsehoods. --Hannah Arendt
The only way into truth is through one's own annihilation; through dwelling a long time in a state of extreme and total humiliation. --Simone Weil
There are no whole truths; all truths are half-truths. It is trying to treat them as whole truths that plays the devil. --Alfred North Whitehead
The truth is really an ambition which is beyond us. --Peter Ustinov
The truth is a snare: you cannot have it, without being caught. You cannot have the truth in such a way that you catch it, but only in such a way that it catches you. --Soren Kierkegaard
There are times when we must sink to the bottom of our misery to understand truth, just as we must descend to the bottom of a well to see the stars in broad daylight. --Václav Havel
There is no such source of error as the pursuit of absolute truth. --Samuel Butler
