True

Famous quotes containing the word true:

    We can never safely exceed the actual facts in our narratives. Of pure invention, such as some suppose, there is no instance. To write a true work of fiction even is only to take leisure and liberty to describe some things more exactly as they are.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    A truth ceases to be true when more than one person believes in it.
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    One cannot be too extreme in dealing with social ills; the extreme thing is generally the true thing.
    Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
