Truth

The truth of things is the chief nutriment of superior intellects.

Fire is to represent truth because it destroys all sophistry and lies; and the mask is for lying and falsehood which conceal truth.

If you find from your own experience that something is a fact and it contradicts what some authority has written down, 25 then you must abandon the authority and base your reasoning on your own findings.

Beyond a doubt truth bears the same relation to falsehood as light to darkness.
