“But it is a writer's duty to write and speak and record the truth, always the truth, no matter whom may be offended.”
“Genuine bravery for a writer.... It is about calmly speaking the truth when everyone else is silenced, when the truth cannot be expressed. It is about speaking out with a different voice, risking the wrath of the state and offending everyone, for the sake of the truth, and the writer’s conscience.”
“Always speak the truth, think before you speak, and write it down afterwards.”
“We have to speak the truth always, at any cost, and no matter what.”
“The truth is always something that is told, not something that is known. If there were no speaking or writing, there would be no truth about anything. There would only be what is.”
“One voice may speak you false, but in many there is always truth to be found.”
