Let the future tell the truth and evaluate each one according to his work and accomplishments. The present is theirs the future for which I have really worked is mine.

It's funny. People often compare me to other humor essayists. They're usually quite nice comparisons I will accept those gladly. But I am always sort of appalled at the idea of being lumped with other more chick-y female writers. And the truth is probably that neither comparison is accurate.

I mean sometimes... a comedian becomes an actor and they just don't deliver because the bottom line of comedy is to be funny and the bottom line of acting is to be truthful and they get that mixed up sometimes or don't even notice that that's the thing.

I've thought for the last decade or so the only actual place raw truth was seeping through in newspapers was on the Comics Pages. They were able to pull off intelligent social comment pure truths not found elsewhere in the news pages and had the ability to make it all funny entertaining and pertinent.

If you're going to tell people the truth be funny or they'll kill you.

If you tell the truth about how you're feeling it becomes funny.

If you want to be thought a liar always tell the truth.

The second one the joint Truth and Friendship Commission which we started now with Indonesia that is the one that has been criticized its terms of reference call for providing amnesty for those who cooperate in telling the truth. It does not lead to prosecution.

My parents and librarians along the way taught me about the space between words about the margins where so many juicy moments of life and spirit and friendship could be found. In a library you could find miracles and truth and you might find something that would make you laugh so hard that you get shushed in the friendliest way.

It is one of the severest tests of friendship to tell your friend his faults. So to love a man that you cannot bear to see a stain upon him and to speak painful truth through loving words that is friendship.

How can sincerity be a condition of friendship? A taste for truth at any cost is a passion which spares nothing.

Friendship at first sight like love at first sight is said to be the only truth.

There is some self-interest behind every friendship. There is no friendship without self-interests. This is a bitter truth.

Never wear your best trousers when you go out to fight for freedom and truth.

The spirit of truth and the spirit of freedom - these are the pillars of society.

Well the first thing is that truth and power for me form an antithesis an antagonism which will hardly ever be resolved. I can define in fact can simplify the history of human society the evolution of human society as a contest between power and freedom.

When a truth is not given complete freedom freedom is not complete.

The pillars of truth and the pillars of freedom - they are the pillars of society.

The worst enemy of truth and freedom in our society is the compact majority.

There are lots of people out there who think they know the truth about God and religion but does anybody really know for sure? That's why the founding fathers built freedom of religious belief into the structure of this nation so that everybody could make up their minds for themselves.

Every therapeutic cure and still more any awkward attempt to show the patient the truth tears him from the cradle of his freedom from responsibility and must therefore reckon with the most vehement resistance.

Freedom and order are not incompatible... truth is strength... free discussion is the very life of truth.

I am a lover of truth a worshipper of freedom a celebrant at the altar of language and purity and tolerance.

The truth is I love being alive. And I love feeling free. So if I can't have those things then I feel like a caged animal and I'd rather not be in a cage. I'd rather be dead. And it's real simple. And I think it's not that uncommon.
