Awful Truth

Famous quotes containing the words awful and/or truth:

    Could any death be so horrible as birth? Or any decrepitude so awful as childhood in a happy united God-fearing family?
    Samuel Butler (1835–1902)

    Mankind are an incorrigible race. Give them but bugbears and idols—it is all that they ask; the distinctions of right and wrong, of truth and falsehood, of good and evil, are worse than indifferent to them.
    William Hazlitt (1778–1830)
