Painful Truth Quotes

Through language, we can tell the truth and hear the truth spoken, just as we can be deceived. Sometimes it’s a painful realization: we can be lied to. As I write, I think of myself as putting my eye under oath, so that what I write is the truth about my characters Picture Quote #1

Everyone sees something different in ‘Endgame’: a biblical apocalypse, a portrait of painful co-dependency, a confession of guilt and dignity in the face of death, a night of baffling hopelessness, a meaningless babble. Each interpretation reveals an absurd truth - not about the play, but about the person watching it Picture Quote #1

Isn’t it obvious in in today’s world from people’s preoccupation with self-medication, drug and alcohol use, rationalization and avoidance distraction that the truth doesn’t just hurt, it’s extremely painful Picture Quote #1

Admit at least one painful truth to yourself every day. Teach yourself to feel that life would still be worth living even if you were not immeasurably superior to all your friends. Exercises of this sort, prolonged through several years, will at last enable you to admit facts without flinching, and will, in so doing, free you from the empire of fear over a very large field Picture Quote #1

I believe that mothers should tell the truth, even - no, especially - when the truth is difficult. It’s always easier, and in the short term can even feel right, to pretend everything is okay, and to encourage your children to do the same. But concealment leads to shame, and of all hurts shame is the most painful Picture Quote #1

Most people are not looking for provable truths. As you said, truth is often accompanied by intense pain, and almost no one is looking for painful truths. What people need is beautiful, comforting stories that make them feel as if their lives have some meaning. Which is where religion comes from Picture Quote #1

... hear rumors and go digging for the painful truth beneath the lovely lies. You believe you have a right to these things, but you don’t. When someone tells you a piece of their life, they’re giving you a gift, not granting you your due Picture Quote #1

Don’t lie to me. Don’t deceive me. Give me the truth. Even if it breaks me. A painful truth is better than a pleasant lie Picture Quote #1

For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth, to know the worst, and to provide for it Picture Quote #1

We all talk about how much we hate lies. Yet we prefer, so often, to be lied to... because it allows us to dodge all those painful truths we’d rather not hear Picture Quote #1
