“The truth, finally, is who can tell it. ”

“Who is this historian who can say that he's telling the whole truth and nothing but the whole truth. Nobody, because you're human.”

“Start telling the truth now and never stop. Begin by telling the truth to yourself about yourself. Then tell the truth to yourself about someone else. Then tell the truth about yourself to another. Then tell the truth about another to that other. Finally, tell the truth to everyone about everything. These are the 5 levels of truth telling. This is the five-fold path to freedom.”

“If your own friends can't tell you the truth about you, who can”

“Finally, we can accept this stunning, irrevocable truth: Our Lord can lift us from deep despair and cradle us midst any care. We cannot tell him anything about aloneness or nearness!....He who cannot lie, will atteast to our adequacy with the warm words, "Well Done.”

“There are only two people who can tell you the truth about yourself, an enemy who has lost his temper and a friend who loves you dearly.”
