Painful Truths Quotes

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

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

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

When part of what you’re trying to get at is the truth hidden under a taboo, or when you want to nail a hypocrisy, laughter is a very useful tool. I want to show the painful side of existence, but there is no question I also want to make people laugh Picture Quote #1

It is one of the severest tests of friendship to tell your friend his faults. So to love a man that you cannot bear to see a stain upon him, and to speak painful truth through loving words, that is friendship Picture Quote #1

Truth is mysterious, elusive, always to be conquered. Liberty is dangerous, as hard to live with as it is elating. We must march toward these two goals, painfully but resolutely, certain in advance of our failings on so long a road Picture Quote #1

There is never vulgarity in a whole truth, however commonplace. It may be unimportant or painful. It cannot be vulgar. Vulgarity is only in concealment of truth, or in affectation Picture Quote #1

Even those truths that are painful will ultimately increase my wisdom, undergird my strength, make possible my art 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

The harder we look at our aches and ailments, the more we will be startled by the painful truths they are trying to convey about our dangerously disembodied way of life Picture Quote #1

Never hide things from hardcore thinkers. They get more aggravated, more provoked by confusion than the most painful truths 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

Your mind will believe comforting lies while also knowing the painful truths that make those lies necessary. And your mind will punish you for believing both Picture Quote #1
