Truth by Reason

«A few observation and much reasoning lead to error; many observations and a little reasoning to truth.»
«It is no surprise to me that hardly anyone tells the truth about how they feel. The smart ones keep themselves to themselves for good reason. Why would you want to tell anyone anything that's dear to you? Even when you like them and want nothing more than to be closer than close to them? It's so painful to be next to someone you feel strongly about and know you can't say the things you want to.»
«A petty reason perhaps why novelists more and more try to keep a distance from journalists is that novelists are trying to write the truth and journalists are trying to write fiction.»
«Man discovers truth by reason only, not by faith.»
«An error does not become truth by reason of multiplied propagation, nor does truth become error because nobody sees it.»
«Reason is the slow and torturous method by which those who do not know the truth discover it»
«Reason is the natural order of truth; but imagination is the organ of meaning.»
«The reason that fiction is more interesting than any other form of literature, to those who really like to study people, is that in fiction the author can really tell the truth without humiliating himself.»
«Familiarity breeds contempt. How accurate that is. The reason we hold truth in such respect is because we have so little opportunity to get familiar with it.»
«Freedom is the recognition that no single person, no single authority or government has a monopoly on the truth, but that every individual life is infinitely precious, that every one of us put in this world has been put there for a reason and has something to offer.»
