„The Word is the equivalent to the spoken Truth. If things are spoken into Being through Truth, then they are good. Then what you have to decide is: if you speak the Truth, then what happens is Good, regardless of what happens. And that's faith.“

„Truth is not spoken in anger. Truth is spoken, if it ever comes to be spoken, in love. The gaze of love is not deluded. It sees what is best in the beloved even when what is best in the beloved finds it hard to emerge into the light.“

—  J.M. Coetzee, buch Slow Man

„But truth is not spoken in anger. Truth is spoken, if it ever comes to be spoken, in love.“

—  J.M. Coetzee, buch Slow Man

„Lips and tongues lie. But actions never do. No matter what words are spoken, actions betray the truth of everyone's heart.“

—  Sherrilyn Kenyon Novelist 1965

„There is no one truth. There’s only what happened, based on how you perceive it.“

—  Jodi Picoult, buch The Pact

—  Ann Brashares, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants

—  Mario Cuomo American politician, Governor of New York 1932 - 2015

„It gets tiresome being spoken to as if you are a child, even if you happen to be one.“

—  Patrick Rothfuss, buch Der Name des Windes

—  Cormac McCarthy, buch All the Pretty Horses

„You imagine the carefully pruned, shaped thing that is presented to you is truth. That is just what it isn't. The truth is improbable, the truth is fantastic; it's in what you think is a distorting mirror that you see the truth.“

—  Jean Rhys, buch Good Morning, Midnight

„There's an insistence that the Being that's spoken into being through Truth is Good. This is the most profound ever. It is also the most believable idea ever. What cures in therapy is Truth. Of course, you must encounter the things that you're afraid of, but this is enacted Truth, because if you know that there's something you need to do by your own set of rules and you're avoiding it, then you're enacting a lie. You're not speaking the lie, but you're enacting it, and that's the same thing: untruth. If you can confront If I can get you to face what it is that you know you shouldn't be avoiding, then what's happening is that we're both partaking in the process of you attempting to act out your deepest truth. That improves people's lives radically. The clinical evidence for that is overwhelming. We know that if you expose people to the things that they're afraid of and are avoiding, they get better. You have to do it carefully, cautiously, and with their approval and participation. Of all the things that clinicians have established that's credible, that's #1. It's redemptive insofar as both people are telling the truth. The difference between deception and repression is very small. People can handle earthquakes and cancer and even death, but they can't handle deception. They can't handle the rug being pulled out from underneath them by people who they love and trust. This does them in. It makes them ill, it hurts them psycho-physiologically, and worse than that it makes them cynical, bitter, vicious, and resentful. And then they also start to act all that out in the world, and that makes it worse.“

—  Jordan Peterson Canadian clinical psychologist, cultural critic, and professor of psychology 1962

„From time to time ponder whether you are unconsciously saying:
'Truth is what I happen to be thinking at this moment.“

—  Idries Shah, buch Reflections

„What scientific truth tells you is: what things are. Genuine religious truth tells you: how you should act. These are not the same.“

—  Jordan Peterson Canadian clinical psychologist, cultural critic, and professor of psychology 1962

„The definition of the word truth is that, you know what you know and what you don't know.“

—  Mwanandeke Kindembo 1996

„I think that truth is the highest value, although it has to be embedded in love. What I mean by that is that truth should serve the highest good imaginable. For me, that is what is best for each individual, in the manner that is simultaneously best for the family, and the state, and nature itself. But you can only want that good if you love Being.“

—  Jordan Peterson Canadian clinical psychologist, cultural critic, and professor of psychology 1962

„The ultimate truth in this universe is the truth of oneness. Therefore each being in existence is in fact an extension of what many call "God". We are indivisible from it. And as such, having good relationships with people is the same as having a good relationship with God.“

—  Teal Swan American spiritual teacher 1984

„There's only truth and not truth. You're either very good or evil. I went back to my dorm and asked myself what I was. If your principles aren't grounded in absolute truth, you don't know what to think.“

—  Christine O'Donnell American Tea Party politician and former Republican Party candidate 1969

„Pieces of a dream unfolding what happened to the fairy tale
Words of love are never spoken
Things in life aren't always fair
I'll protect you and I'll guide you and I'll give you all the love that is mine
Just know in time
You'll be fine.“

—  Anastacia American singer-songwriter 1968

„me: you know what sucks about love?
o. w. g.: what?
me: that it's so tied to the truth.

I know it sucks, but in a way, it's good…. Love and truth being tied together, I mean. They make each other possible, you know?“

—  David Levithan, buch Will Grayson, Will Grayson
