Truth Quote by Lloyd Alexander — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“A shade of sorrow passed over Taliesin's face. 'There are those,' he said gently, 'who must first learn loss, despair, and grief. Of all paths to wisdom, this is the cruelest and longest. Are you one who must follow such a way? This even I cannot know. If you are, take heart nonetheless. Those who reach the end do more than gain wisdom. As rough wool becomes cloth, and crude clay a vessel, so do they change and fashion wisdom for others, and what they give back is greater than what they won.”

“At seventeen the young woman had worked out how to improve her future prospects; she would seduce the Prince.”

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

“In no man's land, alien is the queen.”

“What is the nature of the border between truth and lies? It is permeable and blurred because it is planted thick with rumour, confabulation, misunderstandings and twisted tales. Truth can break the gates down, truth can howl in the street; unless truth is pleasing, personable and easy to like, she is condemned to stay whimpering at the back door.”

“Was [Sisyphus] from”

“Decide what your truth is. Then live it.”
