"Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth."

Truth"The present article is almost wholly devoted to a single problem—the definition of truth. Its task is to construct—with reference to a given language—a materially adequate and formally correct definition of the term true sentence. This problem, which belongs to the classical problems of philosophy, raises considerable difficulties. For although the meaning of the term true sentence in colloquial language seems to be quite clear and intelligible, all attempts to define this meaning more precisely have hitherto been fruitless, and many investigations in which this term has been used and which started with apparently evident premisses have often led to paradoxes and antinomies (for which, however, a more or less satisfactory solution has been found). The concept of truth shares in this respect the fate of other analogous concepts in the domain of the semantics of language."

"There is no finality in the presentation of truth; it develops and grows to meet mans growing demand for light."
"But the fact is, the truth is a very dangerous thing and most people aren’t very careful with it because most of the time, they don’t even recognize it. Consequently, they end up lying when they think they’re being truthful, and spilling the truth when they think they’re covering up."
"Truth is an arrow and the gate is narrow...that it passes through"
"Sometimes lies were more dependable than the truth."
"The truth is so lovable that it has only to be known to be embraced."
