Truth Quote by Mark Helprin — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“She died on a windy gray day in March when the sky was full of darting crows and the world lay prostrate and defeated after winter. Peter Lake was at her side and it ruined him forever.

What he had once taken to be pleasures would appear to him in his defeat as hideous and deserved punishments for reckless vanity.”

“The beauty of truth is that it need not be proclaimed or believed. It skips from soul to soul, changing form each time it touches, but it is what it is, I have seen it, and someday you will, too.”

“He moved like a dancer, which is not surprising; a horse is a beautiful animal, but it is perhaps most remarkable because it moves as if it always hears music.”

“Knowledge is in the end based on acknowledgement.”

“A women can run, hide, play and have fun but she will shine far better when she just smiles without none.”

“The truth sticks in our throats with all the sauces it is served with: it will never go down until we take it without any sauce at all.”

“The truth is that judgment and fear will never stop, but they don't actually do anything.”

“In the underworld, reality itself has elastic properties and is capable of being stretched into different definitions”
