Truth Quote by Dorothy Allison — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Things come apart so easily when they have been held together with lies.”

“The great majority of us are required to live a constant, systematic duplicity. Your health is bound to be affected by it if, day after day, you say the opposite of what you feel, you grovel before what you dislike and rejoice at what bring brings you nothing but misfortune. Our nervous system isn’t just a fiction, it’s part of our physical body, and our soul exists in space and is inside us, like teeth in our mouth. It can’t be forever violated with impunity.”

“Eventually, there's certain limit in telling bare fact through words.”

“Telling Sam and Daneca feels like peeling off my own skin to expose everything underneath. It hurts.”

“Women talk when they want to. Or don't.”

“When one realises one is asleep, at that moment one is already half-awake.”

“It is true we enjoy self-government, but we live in fear. We find ourselves in the paw of a lion. Convenience may induce him to crush us, and with a faint struggle, we may cease to be.”
