Truth Quote by Karen Joy Fowler — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“A man says something. Sometimes it turns out to be the truth, but this has nothing to do with the man who says it.”

“I once broke up with a boy because he wrote me an awful poem.”

“Alive or dead, the truth won't rest. Rise up while you can.”

“There are three sides to every story: yours, theirs, and the truth somewhere in the middle.”

“The cosmos is full beyond measure of elegant truths; of exquisite interrelationships; of the awesome machinery of nature. The surface of the Earth is the shore of the cosmic ocean. On this shore we've learned most of what we know. Recently we've waded a little way out, maybe ankle deep, and the water seems inviting. Some part of our being knows this is where we came from. We long to return. And we can. Because the cosmos is also within us. We're made of star-stuff. We are a way for the cosmos to know itself.”

“It was funny how the old practices always came around again. It was the rhythm of human enterprise to invent and worship some new approach, to fully reject it a generation later, to realize the need for it again a generation or two after that and then hastily reinvent it as new, usually without its original elegance. Scientists hated to look backward for anything.”

“We all know that Art is not truth. Art is a lie that makes us realize truth at least the truth that is given us to understand. The artist must know the manner whereby to convince others of the truthfulness of his lies.”
