“The truth is never absolute, and never as black and white as any of us might like. But that is the nature of the truth: serving none and serving all.”
“The truth sticks in our throats with all the sauces it is served with: it will never go down until we take it without any sauce at all.”
“We do not need a truth to serve us, we need a truth that we can serve”
“Truth is a hard master, and costly to serve, but it simplifies all problems.”
“We should never, ever believe life- or history- holds no surprises for us. That way lies arrogance. And arrogance can blind us to the truth . . . Any truth. All truth.”
“...is the writer a prophet or priest - does he show the truth or serve the truth?...”
