"It was the truths that made the people grotesques. The old man had quite an elaborate theory concerning the matter. It was his notion that the moment one of the people took one of the truths to himself, called it his truth, and tried to live his life by it, he became a grotesque and the truth he embraced a falsehood." - Sherwood Anderson, Winesburg Ohio
"..and I turn towards the truth
because I am lacking a lie." - Pablo Neruda
Maybe the things you want are like cards. You don't want them for themselves, really, though you think you do. You don't want a card because you want the card, but because in a perfectly arbitrary system of rules and values and in a special combination of which you are already a part the card has meaning. But suppose you aren't sitting in a game. Then, even if you do know the rules, a card doesn't mean a thing. - All the King's Men, Robert Penn Warren
I want to make noise with my feet,
I wish my soul would find its body. - Nicanor Parra
