“How terrible-- to see the truth when the truth is only pain to him who sees!”
“He who sees the truth, let him proclaim it, without asking who is for it or who is against it.”
“No two people see events the same way.Everybody's truth is different. This is my truth.If only there was a world with no pain...Only love.If only there was no fear.If only...”
“The only time I see the truth is when I cross my eyes.”
“Come, what do we gain by evasions? We are under the harrow and can’t escape. Reality, looked at steadily, is unbearable. And how or why did such a reality blossom (or fester) here and there into the terrible phenomenon called consciousness? Why did it produce things like us who can see it and, seeing it, recoil in loathing? Who (stranger still) want to see it and take pains to find it out, even when no need compels them and even though the sight of it makes an incurable ulcer in their hearts? People like H. herself, who would have truth at any price.”
“One truth doesn't refute another. Truth doesn't lie in the object, but in how we see it.”
