“There's more beauty in truth, even if it is dreadful beauty.”
“There is more beauty in truth, even if it is a dreadful beauty. The storytellers at the city gate twist life so that it looks sweet to the lazy and the stupid and the weak, and this only strengthens their infirmities and teaches nothing, cures nothing, nor does it let the heart soar.”
“The truth was much more beautiful.”
“Telling the truth is a beautiful act even if the truth itself is ugly”
“It is beautiful to express love and even more beautiful to feel it.”
“It is beautiful to talk about beautiful things and even more beautiful to silently gaze at them.”
