“Truth, like light, blinds. Falsehood, on the contrary, is a beautiful twilight that enhances every object.”

“Don't lies eventually lead to the truth? And don't all my stories, true or false, tend toward the same conclusion? Don't they all have the same meaning? So what does it matter whether they are true or false if, in both cases, they are significant of what I have been and what I am? Sometimes it is easier to see clearly into the liar than into the man who tells the truth. Truth, like light, blinds. Falsehood, on the contrary, is a beautiful twilight that enhances every object.”

“A liar begins with making falsehood appear like truth, and ends with making truth itself appear like falsehood.”

“Truth is brighter than Light Falsehood darker than nightRevenge is keener than Axeand Love is softer than melting wax”

“We must fight their falsehood with our truth, but we must also fight the falsehood in our truth.”

“The Truth must dazzle gradually or every man be blind.”
