“Somewhere in the archives of crudest instinct is recorded the truth that it is better to be endangered and free than captive and comfortable.”
“Better the comfort of a lie than the absurdity of the truth.”
“Better a cruel truth than a comfortable delusion.”
“But better to get hurt by the truth than comforted with a lie.”
“No. Harsh truth was better than comfortable lies. It had to be.”
“Better to get hurt by the truth than comforted with a lie.”
