Noble Truth

Famous quotes containing the words noble and/or truth:

“Truth itself does not have the privilege to be employed at any time and in any way; its use, noble as it is, has its limits.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

“Today’s comedian has a cross to bear that he built himself. A comedian of the older generation did an “act” and he told the audience, “This is my act.” Today’s comic is not doing an act. The audience assumes he’s telling the truth. What is truth today may be a damn lie next week.”
—Lenny Bruce (1925–1966)
