Awful Truth

Famous quotes containing the words awful and/or truth:

“Inscrutable His ways are, and immune
To catechism by a mind too strewn
With petty cares to slightly understand
What awful brain compels His awful hand.
Yet do I marvel at this curious thing;
To make a poet black, and bid him sing!”
—Countee Cullen (1903–1946)

“The truth is not simply what you think it is; it is also the circumstances in which it is said, and to whom, why, and how it is said.”
—Václav Havel (b. 1936)
