True

Famous quotes containing the word true:

    Wait a second while I take a swig off this bottle: it’s my true and only Helicon, my Caballine fount, my sole Enthusiasm. Here, drinking, I deliberate, I reason, I resolve and conclude. After the epilogue I laugh, I write, I compose, I drink. Ennius drinking would write, writing would drink.
    François Rabelais (1494–1553)

    Socrates gave no diplomas or degrees, and would have subjected any disciple who demanded one to a disconcerting catechism on the nature of true knowledge.
    —G.M. (George Macaulay)

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