Famous quotes containing the word true:
“It is by a mathematical point only that we are wise, as the sailor or the fugitive slave keeps the polestar in his eye; but that is sufficient guidance for all our life. We may not arrive at our port within a calculable period, but we would preserve the true course.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I apologize for not being entirely honest with you. I apologize for hiding my true feelings. I apologize, sir, for not telling you sooner that you are a sadistic, degenerate old man. And you can go to hell before I apologize to you now or ever again.”
—Stanley Kubrick (b. 1928)
“To my sick soul, as sin’s true nature is,
Each toy seems prologue to some great amiss.
So full of artless jealousy is guilt,
It spills itself in fearing to be spilt.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
