Language is the house of the truth of Being.

Man has gone long enough or even too long without being man enough to face the simple truth that the trouble with man is man.

I remember how being young and black and gay and lonely felt. A lot of it was fine feeling I had the truth and the light and the key but a lot of it was purely hell.

Our understanding of the world around us is constantly being redefined and expanded and so therefore it is wiser to be passionate about seeking for truth than knowing it.

The truth has never been of any real value to any human being - it is a symbol for mathematicians and philosophers to pursue. In human relations kindness and lies are worth a thousand truths.

The price of being close to the President is delivering bad news. You fail him if you don't tell him the truth. Others won't do it.

The lowest form of popular culture - lack of information misinformation disinformation and a contempt for the truth or the reality of most people's lives - has overrun real journalism. Today ordinary Americans are being stuffed with garbage.

Most people think that shadows follow precede or surround beings or objects. The truth is that they also surround words ideas desires deeds impulses and memories.

Falsehood has an infinity of combinations but truth has only one mode of being.

This is the truth: as from a fire aflame thousands of sparks come forth even so from the Creator an infinity of beings have life and to him return again.

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.

Not being known doesn't stop the truth from being true.

No one can be happy who has been thrust outside the pale of truth. And there are two ways that one can be removed from this realm: by lying or by being lied to.

A lot of people are afraid to tell the truth to say no. That's where toughness comes into play. Toughness is not being a bully. It's having backbone.

There are very few human beings who receive the truth complete and staggering by instant illumination. Most of them acquire it fragment by fragment on a small scale by successive developments cellularly like a laborious mosaic.

All truth passes through three stages. First it is ridiculed. Second it is violently opposed. Third it is accepted as being self-evident.

My disposition as a human being is kind of a go-along-to-get-along person. I tend to trust authority.

I got this idea about being afraid to let go of something and being afraid of sinking into a state of almost anesthesia where you have to trust other people. Just the paranoia of it all. And it seemed to suit the frenetic track. So I just wrote it out and you know said it.

I would say I was always very ambitious and goal-oriented but rather than being just a go-getter hustler now I surrender a lot more and I trust my path a lot more.

I guess because it feels more open but I think being married is way sexier because it's really like your soul partner in a permanent fashion and then you strive for it to be something permanent and that type of commitment and trust if you can achieve it is so good for the soul.

There's a lot of trust being built up. I think we have a lot of work ahead of us.

If the president is failing to disclose material facts with regard to legislation being presented to the Congress on a question as important as war and peace I think it does impair the level of trust that the House and the Senate have for this administration.

I worked with creative people who were very demanding of me and they helped me reach performances that I never could have gotten on my own without being pushed and having trust in them. And so I know the best way to get the best performance of an actor and that's not to coddle them or to baby them. It's to help them it's to push them.

I had this totally impossible dream of being an actress. Trust me just because I'm lucky enough to be doing this doesn't make any of this less of a pipe dream. And nothing gets my juices flowing like a really great performance. To see someone on stage I get really excited.
