Truth Quote by Toba Beta — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Belief has nothing to do with facts,”

“Smartass Disciple: I've been searching for so long.I still can't find the truth.”

“At the beginning was The Word.”

“Right now, just speak gently your words of wisdom to the youngsters.”

“You might say that you've finally earned the wisdom.”

“If you seek for supreme predator, go find God.”

“So engrained in the human heart is the desire to believe that some people really do know what they say they know, and can thus save them from the trouble of thinking for themselves, that in a short time would-be philosophers and faddists became more powerful than ever, and gradually led their countrymen to accept all those absurd views of life, some account of which I have given in my earlier chapters. Indeed I can see no hope for the Erewhonians till they have got to understand that reason uncorrected by instinct is as bad as instinct uncorrected by reason.”

“When put to the best use, poetry has not only the power to stir one’s emotions and thoughts, but also the soul itself!”

“Remember, any lie you are told, even deliberately, is often a more significant fact than a truth told in all sincerity.”

“Beauty is truth, truth beauty”

“Am crezut întotdeauna că nu poți vorbi despre lucrurile care spun ceva cu adevărat despre tine. Nu față-n față cu celălalt. De-asta scriu în loc să vorbesc. Când ești față-n față, ochi în ochi cu aproapele tău... abia atunci simți zidul de nestrăbătut dintre mințile voastre („cum arată albastrul tău?”, „cum pot simți durerea ta de măsele?”). De asta oamenii și-au spus lucrurile importante prin cărți, căci orice carte presupune o absență, dintr-o parte sau din cealaltă: când e scrisă, lipsește cititorul. Când e citită, lipsește scriitorul. Dispar astfel greața și abjecția de-a pune față-n față judecătorul și condamnatul.”
