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 always something that is told, not something that is known. If there were no speaking or writing, there would be no truth about anything. There would only be what is.”
    —Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
