Truth Quote by Lisa Unger — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“The truth has not so much set us free as it has ripped away a carefully constructed facade, leaving us naked to begin again.”

“I think most people are just trying to be happy, and that most of their actions, however misguided, are in line with that goal. Most people just want to feel they belong somewhere, want to be loved, and want to feel they're important to someone. If you really examine all the wrongheaded and messed-up things they do, they can most often be traced back to that basic desire. The abusers, the addicted, the cruel and unpleasant, the manipulators --these are just people who started this quest for happiness in the basement of their lives. Someone communicated to them through word or deed that they were undeserving, so they think they have to claw their way there over the backs of others, leaving scars and creating damage. Of course, they only create more misery for themselves and others.”

“Life without any wonder left in it is flat and stale.”

“While we are expecting everybody to tell downright the truth, many are muddying the water, drowning questions in a river of words and trying to make us forget what actually the real issue is about. If paltering and deflecting matters might become a new way of telling the truth, interaction might be doomed to culminate in a cluster shell of suspicion and mutual trust to become frantically undermined. ( “Blame storming” )”

“Trusting yourself means living out what you already know to be true.”

“He'd believed it. She couldn't believe that he believed it. Sometimes, she hated him for that.”

“The beauty and gift of truth, is that it is not dependent upon your belief in order to remain true”

“The first casualty of war is the truth.”
