“During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.”
“In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.”
“In a time of deceit telling the "truth" is a revolutionary act...Keep doing it.”
“But I suppose the most revolutionary act one can engage in is... to tell the truth.”
“If something inside of you is real, we will probably find it interesting, and it will probably be universal. So you must risk placing real emotion at the center of your work. Write straight into the emotional center of things. Write toward vulnerability. Risk being unliked. Tell the truth as you understand it. If you’re a writer you have a moral obligation to do this. And it is a revolutionary act—truth is always subversive.”
