“Truth makes love possible; love makes truth bearable.”

“Yes, if truth is not undergirded by love, it makes the possessor of that truth obnoxious and the truth repulsive.”

“Perhaps the mission of those who love mankind is to make people laugh at the truth, to make truth laugh, because the only truth lies in learning to free ourselves from insane passion for the truth.”

“We make an idol of truth itself, for truth apart from charity is not God, but his image and an idol that we must not love or worship.”

“everyone endeavors as much as possible to make others love what he loves, and to hate what he hates... This effort to make everyone approve what we love or hate is in truth ambition, and so we see that each person by nature desires that other persons should live according to his way of thinking...”

“I've nothing against people who love truth. Apart from the fact that they make dull companions.”
