(page 3)
Truth is more of a stranger than fiction.
Our uniqueness makes us special, makes perception valuable - but it can also make us lonely. This loneliness is different from being 'alone': You can be lonely even surrounded by people. The feeling I'm talking about stems from the sense that we can never fully share the truth of who we are. I experienced this acutely at an early age.
Honesty is more than not lying. It is truth telling, truth speaking, truth living, and truth loving.
Truth is so rare that it is delightful to tell it.
For every good reason there is to lie, there is a better reason to tell the truth.
Real intimacy depends on truth — lovingly told — especially in the bedroom.
Most of my training at graduate school was geared towards drama, so I feel good about it, and I can do it, but it requires a lot more work from me. I feel like with drama... well, with all acting, really, you need to honor the truth of the situation.
OK, so truth hurts — but what else does truth do?

To give a satisfactory decision as to the truth it is necessary to be rather an arbitrator than a party to the dispute.
There are a terrible lot of lies going around the world, and the worst of it is half of them are true.
The truth is you don't know what is going to happen tomorrow. Life is a crazy ride, and nothing is guaranteed.
Morality is the basis of things and truth is the substance of all morality.
I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality... I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word.
Truth will always be truth, regardless of lack of understanding, disbelief or ignorance.
We also have to make sure our children know the history of women. Tell them the rotten truth: It wasn't always possible for women to become doctors or managers or insurance people. Let them be armed with a true picture of the way we want it to be.
Christlike communications are expressions of affection and not anger, truth and not fabrication, compassion and not contention, respect and not ridicule, counsel and not criticism, correction and not condemnation. They are spoken with clarity and not with confusion. They may be tender or they may be tough, but they must always be tempered.
