“Truth is truth. Implications are subjective. People will hear your words and draw their own conclusion.”

“If we wish to draw philosophical conclusions about our own existence, our significance, and the significance of the universe itself, our conclusions should be based on empirical knowledge. A truly open mind means forcing our imaginations to conform to the evidence of reality, and not vice versa, whether or not we like the implications.”

“Bound by the Oath against lying, Aes Sedai [carry] the half-truth, the quarter-truth and the implication to arts.”

“What draws people to be friends is that they see the same truth. They share it.”

“Foolish people ask you, when you speak what they do not wish to hear, "How do you know it is the truth, and not an error of your own?" We know the truth when we see it, from opinion, as we know when we are awake that we are awake.”

“It’s not the people in your life that tell you what you want to hear, it's the people in your life that tell you the truth that count.”
