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

“Maybe if I'd agreed to do the debutante thing like she wanted. Or taken up pageants instead of riding jump bikes with a bunch of grungy boys. I'd always tell her, why can't I do both? Who says you have to be either smart or pretty, or into girly stuff or sports? Life shouldn't be about the either/or. We're capable of more than that, you know?”

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

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

“The best gifts come from the heart, not the store.”

“Oh darling, don't be bitter. It's the first instinct of the weak.”

“I felt tears prick my eyes as I looked down at the model again, looking at that girl and boy on the curb. Forever in that place, together.”

“In essentials, unity; in non-essentials, liberty; in all things, charity.”

“Don’t you understand? When you’re standing on their side, you’re the bizarre genius, the miraculous hero, the force of the rebellion, the flower that blooms alone. But the second your voice differs from theirs, you’ve lost your mind, you’ve ignored morality, you’ve walked the crooked path.”

“Behind the hieroglyphic streets there would either be a transcendent meaning, or only the earth.”

“They would not find me changed from him they knew — Only more sure of all I thought was true.”

“Intuition is the art of the moment. Intuition is always in the moment, in the here and now. While the intellect always moves like the pendulum of a clock between the memories of the past and the fantasies of the future, intuition is always in the moment, always in the here and now. The more we develop our inner being, the inner source of love and truth, the inner quality of being here and now, the more we also have access to our intuition.”
