Truth Quote by Sarah Dessen — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Macy: “In Truth,” I said, “there are no rules other than you have to tell the truth.”

“You said the other day life was long,' I shot back. 'Which is it?'”

“Yeah. I mean, acknowledging is easy. Something happened or it didn't. But understanding... that's where things get sticky.”

“I wondered if emotions were like menstrual cycles, if you get enough women together. Give it time, and everyone was crying.”

“That first love. And the first one who breaks your heart. For me, they just happen to be the same person.”

“But it's important to acknowledge that while we may make mistakes, in the long run, we may also learn from them.”

“Life is not a sport. Life is not math. There is no final end goal and there is no right answer. Just because your truth does not match someone else's truth does not make either of you wrong. Life is not a zero sum game. If I am right, that does not make you wrong. If you are right, that does not make me wrong either. A jar of vinegar can sit in a cupboard beside a box of baking soda peacefully, and we can allow those who disagree with us to exist alongside us without reacting to them. There is nothing to prove. There is enough room in the world for all of us.”

“You don't know about real loss, 'cause it only occurs when you've loved something more than you love yourself. And I doubt you've ever dared to love anybody that much.”

“Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.”

“Love is so supremely important. As our great poet Auden said, 'Love each other or perish”

“REJECT THE LIES AND VIOLENCE. STAND FOR LOVE, TRUTH, DECENCY AND THE COMMON GOOD.”
