Truth Quote by Erik Pevernagie — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Truth and facts often have a contrary message with a trying mission to show the cards' real color shuffled in the rough-and-tumble of our social and political arena.”

“Some are condemned to remain mere “clock and smart phone watchers”, inasmuch as they are not able to read and interpret the lines of their life or don't even treasure the enchantment of daily captivating moments. If we are not prepared to give some personal time to social time, we walk like blind men through gloomy alleys of our existence. ( " Please. Just a bit of a chat " )”

“If our memory is a compass rather than an anchor of the past, we can reinterpret our history in light of the present. By living in forward motion, we can select wisdom from our experience, without being haunted by it. When we identify what we are leaving behind and why we do so, we can leave mental chaos and go forward with confidence. (“Never looking back again”)”

“We may be happy but just don’t know it yet. Many want to rebuke themselves for not finding the threshold of well being, since they simply haven’t learnt to be nice to themselves and to enjoy the privileged twinklings of life. ("C’est quand le bonheur ?" )”

“The traps of unbridled passion that drive us to hold back the truth and hamper us from speaking candidly and truthfully must not invade our thinking. Living on lies and denying irrefutable facts to attain power or glory condemn anyone to walk on bumpy paths with awkward pitfalls and embarrassing wrangles. ("The power and the glory" )”

“Stand up for what is right even if it means standing alone.”

“History, Stephen said, is a nightmare from which I am trying to awake.”

“She gave up trying to understand herself, and the vast armies of the benighted, who follow neither the heart nor the brain, and march to their destiny by catch-words. The armies are full of pleasant and pious folk. But they have yielded to the only enemy that matters — the enemy within. They have sinned against passion and truth, and vain will be their strife after virtue. As the years pass, they are censured. Their pleasantry and their piety show cracks, their wit becomes cynicism, their unselfishness hypocrisy; they feel and produce discomfort wherever they go.”

“I'd rather hear an ugly truth, rather than an obscure lie.”

“A professionally trained actress should be a better liar, wouldn't you think? But no. I am pathetically underachieved in that area. I can think of a great lie. I'm plenty imaginative. But before the words are even out of my mouth, there's a weird tickle of unease in my armpits, a horsefly of guilt lands on the back of my neck, and before I can stop myself, that gassy little bubble of truth belches out.”
