Truth Quote by Imants Ziedonis — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“The search for truth takes you where the evidence leads you, even if, at first, you don't want to go there.”

“Le vrai est trop simple, il faut y arriver toujours par le compliqué.”

“People who belittle people, will be LITTLE people, and will accomplish very Little”

“My life came to a standstill. I could breathe, eat, drink and sleep, and I could not help doing these things; but there was no life, for there were no wishes the fulfilment of which I could consider reasonable. If I desired anything, I knew in advance that whether I satisfied my desire or not, nothing would come of it. Had a fairy come and offered to fulfil my desires I should not have known what to ask. If in moments of intoxication I felt something which, though not a wish, was a habit left by former wishes, in sober moments I knew this to be a delusion and that there was really nothing to wish for. I could not even wish to know the truth, for I guess of what it consisted. The truth was that life is meaningless.”

“We have to endure the discordance between imagination and fact. It is better to say, “I am suffering,” than to say, “This landscape is ugly.”
