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

“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.”

“The Universe doesn't like secrets. It conspires to reveal the truth, to lead you to it.”

“Truth is something believed in heart.”

“The truth was stranger than the official fiction.”

“If you don't love yourself, you won't be happy with yourself. If you can't love yourself, you can't love anyone else. You can't give the love you do not have. You can't make anyone love you without loving yourself first.”

“There are a lot of people like me, people who need books the way they need air.”

“One swallows the lie that flatters, but sips the bitter truth drop by drop.”

“Writing fiction is the act of weaving a series of lies to arrive at a greater truth.”
