“Vitam impendre vero. (To stake one's life for the truth.)”

“Truth is what is true, and it's not necessarily factual. Truth and fact are not the same thing. Truth does not contradict or deny facts, but it goes through and beyond facts. This is something that it is very difficult for some people to understand. Truth can be dangerous.”

“Truth is eternal. Knowledge is changeable. It is disastrous to confuse them.”

“Because you're not what I would have you be, I blind myself to who, in truth, you are.”

“Our truest response to the irrationality of the world is to paint or sing or write, for only in such response do we find truth.”

“It is ... through the world of the imagination which takes us beyond the restrictions of provable fact, that we touch the hem of truth.”

“If we commit ourselves to one person for life, this is not, as many people think, a rejection of freedom; rather, it demands the courage to move into all the risks of freedom, and the risk of love which is permanent; into that love which is not possession but participation.”
