Filippo Tommaso Marinetti
We affirm that the world’s magnificence has been enriched by a new beauty: the beauty of speed. A racing car whose hood is adorned with great pipes, like serpents of explosive breath—a roaring car that seems to ride on grapeshot is more beautiful than the Victory of Samothrace .
Katherine Mansfield
Looking back, I imagine I was always writing. Twaddle it was, too. But better far write twaddle or anything, anything, than nothing at all.
Naguib Mahfouz
What I want is to draw inspiration only from the truth. . . . My qualifications for this important role include a large head, an enormous nose, disappointment in love, and expectations of ill health.
Henry Kissinger
It's not a matter of what is true that counts but a matter of what is perceived to be true.
Bertrand Russell
Most of the greatest evils that man has inflicted upon man have come through people feeling quite certain about something which, in fact, was false.
George Bernard Shaw
The liar's punishment is not in the least that he is not believed, but that he cannot believe anyone else.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The most common lie is that which one lies to himself; lying to others is relatively an exception.
Ernest Hemingway
The best ammunition against lies is the truth, there is no ammunition against gossip. It is like a fog and the clear wind blows it away and the sun burns it off.
Niels Bohr
The opposite of a fact is falsehood, but the opposite of one profound truth may very well be another profound truth.
Virginia Woolf
It is in our idleness, in our dreams, that the submerged truth sometimes comes to the top.
