I'm a fan of the truth... even if it's painfully hard to accept.

Apparently people don't like the truth, but I do like it; I like it because it upsets a lot of people. If you show them enough times that their arguments are bullshit, then maybe just once, one of them will say, 'Oh! Wait a minute - I was wrong.' I live for that happening. Rare, I assure you

"I'm a fan of the truth," she replied forcefully, "even if it's painfully hard to accept."

I have always loved truth so passionately that I have often resorted to lying as a way of introducing it into the minds which were ignorant of its charms.

Reality wins, and I'd rather see the truth than stay in love with a fantasy.

The truth is more important than the facts.

There is nobody in the commonwealth of learning who does not profess himself a lover of truth: and there is not a rational creature that would not take it amiss to be thought otherwise of. And yet, for all this, one may truly say, that there are very few lovers of truth, for truth’s sake, even amongst those who persuade themselves that they are so. How a man may know whether he be so in earnest, is worth inquiry: and I think there is one unerring mark of it, viz. The not entertaining any proposition with greater assurance than the proofs it is built upon will warrant. Whoever goes beyond this measure of assent, it is plain, receives not the truth in the love of it; loves not truth for truth’s sake, but for some other bye-end.

When the facts change, I change my mind

It’s not that I’ve been dishonest, it’s just that I loathe reality.

Truth is so obscure in these times, and falsehood so established, that, unless we love the truth, we cannot know it.

We prefer truth over facts.

I tore myself away from the safe comfort of certainties through my love for truth - and truth rewarded me.

Facts...are stubborn things...

I am passionate about the truth. Passion is very different from fundamentalism.
