Truth Quote by Joe Abercrombie — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“He is dead and I, the self serving coward that I am, still live. Life is not fair. There is no pattern. People die at random. Something everyone knows, but no one truly believes. They think that when it comes to them there will be a lesson, a meaning, a story worth telling. That death will come to them as a dread scholar, a fell knight, a terrible emperor.”

“You should be like water. Take the shape of wherever you are and make the best of what floats past.”

“My name is Nicomo Cosca, famed solider of fortune, and I am here for dinner.”

“Travel brings wisdom only to the wise. It renders the ignorant more ignorant than ever.”

“I have learned all kinds of things from my many mistakes. The one thing I never learn is to stop making them.”

“You ever have the feeling you were in the wrong place? That if you could just get over the next hill, cross the next river, look down into the next valley, it'd all...fit. Be right.”

“Because even though the truth can set you free, that doesn't mean it won't be painful.”

“In advising the heads of state to learn from tragedy rather than perpetuate its existence Robert Kennedy excalimed, "Tragedy is a tool for the living to gain wisdom, not a guide by which to live." We have a tendency to dwell on tragedy and use it as a justification for tragic occurrences that follow,rather than parse the tragedy, taking from it important lessons and using those lessons to avoid similar tragedies.”

“Believe in truth. To abandon facts is to abandon freedom. If nothing is true, then no one can criticize power, because there is no basis upon which to do so. If nothing is true, then all is spectacle. The biggest wallet pays for the most blinding lights.”

“This is the basis, and I am not being tried for whether I am a Communist, I am being tried for fighting for the right of my people, who are still second-class citizens in this United States of America”

“Smartass Disciple: Master, what are you talking about? None of us understand!”
