True

Famous quotes containing the word true:

    The reasons you allege do more conduce
    To the hot passion of distempered blood
    Than to make up a free determination
    ‘Twixt right and wrong; for pleasure and revenge
    Have ears more deaf than adders to the voice
    Of any true decision.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    It is only shallow people who do not judge by appearances. The true mystery of the world is the visible, not the invisible.
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    ... in writing you cannot possibly be interesting if what you say is not true, if it is what I call “a true lie,” i.e., a truth which gives the wrong impression. For no matter how subtly you lie in writing, people know it and don’t believe you, and the whole secret of being interesting is to be believed.
    Brenda Ueland (1891–1985)
