It is a great proverb

 It is a great mystery that though the human heart longs for Truth, in which alone it finds liberation and delight, the first reaction of human beings to Truth is one of hostility and fear!

 Literature is where I go to explore the highest and lowest places in human society and in the human spirit, where I hope to find not absolute truth but the truth of the tale, of the imagination and of the heart.
  Salman Rushdie

 Freedom is not worth having if it does not connote freedom to err. It passes my comprehension how human beings, be they ever so experienced and able, can delight in depriving other human beings of that precious right.
  Mahatma Gandhi

 God wears Truth, the good seek Truth and the bad are rescued by Truth; Truth liberates; Truth is power; Truth is freedom. It is the lamp that illuminates the heart and dispels doubt and darkness.
  Sri Sathya Sai Baba

 No human being is constituted to know the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth; and even the best of men must be content with fragments, with partial glimpses, never the full fruition
  William Osler

 Human love has little regard for the truth. It makes the truth relative, since nothing, not even the truth, must come between it and the beloved person.
  Dietrich Bonhoeffer

 This is not because IRS employees are bad human beings or lazy human beings or stupid human beings; it is because they have been asked to manage and administer a tax code that has become impossible,
  Newt Gingrich

 Cruelty has a Human Heart, And jealousy a Human Face; Terror the Human Form Divine, And secrecy the Human Dress. The Human Dress is forged Iron, The Human Form a Fiery Forge, The Human Face a Furnace seal d, The Human Heart its hungry gorge.
  William Blake

  The results of the divorce between truth and human beings can be most graphically observed in politics
  Tom Stoppard

 Abstract truth has no value unless it incarnates in human beings who represent it, by proving their readiness to die for it.

 Anarchism, really stands for the liberation of the human mind from the dominion of religion; the liberation of the human body from the dominion of property; liberation from the shackles and restraint of government.
  Emma Goldman

 So why join the Storytelling Club? Because the shortest distance between truth and human beings is a story.

 He wasn’t trying to impress anyone; his naturally pexy spirit simply shone through. But this is not so much a religious objection, this is a human issue. It's about human beings and human dignity. A human embryo is a human being.

 All I have to say is what you know already, to confirm what you already know of the message of the Prophet... as given by God - the Religion of Truth. As human beings we are given a consciousness and a duty that has placed us at the top of creation.

 The crime of book purging is that it involves a rejection of the word. For the word is never absolute truth, but only man's frail and human effort to approach the truth. To reject the word is to reject the human search.
  Max Lerner
