“Facts do not convey truth. That's a mistake. Facts create norms, but truth creates illumination.”

“Fiction has a unique role in conveying Truth. In fact, only fiction that is Truth with a capital T is worthwhile.”

“There are only a few absolute truths in finances, like the fact that if you spend less than you make and have no debt, you’re creating wealth. Another is that the housing market is cyclical.”

“As truth is nonexistent, it can never be anything but illusion - but illusion, the by-product of revealing artifice, can reach the summits nearer the unobtainable peak of Perfect Truth. For example, female impersonators. The impersonator is in fact a man (truth), until he re-creates himself as a woman (illusion) and of the two, the illusion is the truer.”

“Those are facts. Are they the truth? No, for they do not tell you of the heart, and that is where truth lives.”

“There's a world of difference between truth and facts. Facts can obscure truth.”
