'Tis not enough your counsel still be true; Blunt truths more mischief than nice falsehoods do. ~ Alexander Pope
Blunt Truths quotes by Alexander Pope
My shower doesn't make everything go away. The world doesn't feel like a bigger, brighter place because my hair smells like coconuts. ~ Jolene Perry
Blunt Truths quotes by Jolene Perry
I could barely even say Will's name. And listening to their tales of family relationships, of thirty-year marriages, shared houses, lives, children, I felt like a fraud. I had been a carer for someone for six months. I'd loved him, and watched him end his life. How could these strangers possibly understand what Will and I had been to each other during that time? How could I explain the way we had so swiftly understood each other, the shorthand jokes, the blunt truths and raw secrets? How could I convey the way those short months had changed the way I felt about everything? The way he had skewed my world so totally that it made no sense without him in it? ~ Jojo Moyes
Blunt Truths quotes by Jojo Moyes
A person who holds strong convictions might appear inflexible, impolite, or exceptionally obtuse, when they are merely direct. ~ Kilroy J. Oldster
Blunt Truths quotes by Kilroy J. Oldster
Death is what happens when you die. ~ Kevin Mcpherson Eckhoff
Blunt Truths quotes by Kevin Mcpherson Eckhoff
Some of the deepest truths are simple, when seen in the clearest light, and it takes a lucid intellect to grasp them so thoroughly that their simplicity can be brought into that light and offered to all, not just the privileged few. ~ Bertrand Russell
Blunt Truths quotes by Bertrand Russell
I attempted to fish in Scotland and I managed to hook a dog. It was a horrible moment but the dog turned out to be fine. ~ Emily Blunt
Blunt Truths quotes by Emily Blunt
Cassidy and I wouldn't be friends if we met today. She's blunt, even when she shouldn't be. She's cynical to the point of perpetual gloom. Her interest in culture begins and ends with fashion magazines - hence the gloom. She's still the best friend I've ever had. We're there for each other in a way no one else is. That's what counts, not the music she listens to or the books she doesn't read. ~ A.O. Monk
Blunt Truths quotes by A.O. Monk
They will tell you that to be political is to be merely angry, and therefore artless, depthless, "raw," and empty. They will speak of Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny. They will tell you that great writing "breaks free" from the political, thereby "transcending" the barriers of difference, uniting people toward universal truths. They'll say this is achieved through craft above all. Let's see how it's made, they'll say- as if how something is assembled is alien to the impulse that created it. As if the first chair was hammered into existence without considering the human form. ~ Ocean Vuong
Blunt Truths quotes by Ocean Vuong
A Sceptick therefore, who because he finds that Truths are not universally received, doubts of their existence, is just as foolish as a man who should try large shoes upon little feet, and little shoes upon large feet, and finding that they did not fit. ~ James Boswell
Blunt Truths quotes by James Boswell
How can you believe someone to be so beautiful and amazing and just about the most magical person you've ever known, when it turns out she was in such pain that she had to drink poison to rob her cells of oxygen until her heart had no choice but to stop beating? ~ Gale Forman
Blunt Truths quotes by Gale Forman
I can't remember the poem
That pierced through my heart
It was the saddest I heard
Of all truths ever spoken
It left a scar in me
A wound that doesn't heal
But the words are forgotten
So is a big part of me ~ A.A. Patawaran
Blunt Truths quotes by A.A. Patawaran
Time and again, we have found the 'idle' truths arrived at through the process of inquiry to be of the greatest moment for practical human affairs. ~ Herbert A. Simon
Blunt Truths quotes by Herbert A. Simon
On the one hand, the falsest judgments, whether based on isolated facts or only on appearances, always embrace some truths whose sphere, whether large or small, affords room for a certain number of inferences, beyond which we fall into absurdity. ~ Pierre-Joseph Proudhon
Blunt Truths quotes by Pierre-Joseph Proudhon
Our obsessive focus on college schooling has blinded us to basic truths. College is a place, not a magic formula. It matters what subjects students study, and subsidies should focus on the subjects that matter the most - not to the students, but to everyone else. ~ Alex Tabarrok
Blunt Truths quotes by Alex Tabarrok
I feel some need to represent where I'm from. But ultimately, I think my only real responsibility is to - as much as possible - interrogate my own truths. This is to say not merely writing what I think is true, but using the writing to turn that alleged truth over and over, to stress-test it, in the aim of producing something readable. ~ Ta-Nehisi Coates
Blunt Truths quotes by Ta-Nehisi Coates
Our great thoughts, our great affections, the truths of our life, never leave us. Surely they can not separate from our consciousness, shall follow it whithersoever that shall go, and are of their nature divine and immortal. ~ William Makepeace Thackeray
Blunt Truths quotes by William Makepeace Thackeray
The truths of life are not discovered by us. At moments unforeseen, some gracious influence descends upon the soul, touching it to an emotion which, we know not how, the mind transmutes into thought. ~ George Gissing
Blunt Truths quotes by George Gissing
It is indeed one of th e grave errors of religious anti-secularism that it does not see that secularism is made up of verites chretiennes devenues folies, of Christian truths that "went mad," and that in simply rejecting secularism , it in fact rejects with it certain fundamentally Christian aspirations and hopes. ~ Alexander Schmemann
Blunt Truths quotes by Alexander Schmemann
They do not know what the words mean; they do not know how to ward them off or blunt their edge or fling them back; they are a prey to words in their emotions instead of being the masters of them in their intellects. ~ Dorothy L. Sayers
Blunt Truths quotes by Dorothy L. Sayers
If you have good songs and a real desire to make music, the next thing to do, instead of approach record companies, is to get yourself a really good manager because then it allows you to focus on your profession of being a musician. Then they can focus on the darker art of the record label and the music industry. ~ James Blunt
Blunt Truths quotes by James Blunt
There is much room to grow as individuals, and in doing so we can discover truths about our own inclinations. You should know that for every action there is a reaction. Your perseverance, kindness, or humor creates a ripple effect in our culture just as much as your indifference, violence, or negativity ~ Omar Saif Ghobash
Blunt Truths quotes by Omar Saif Ghobash
The true artist helps the world by revealing mystic truths. ~ Bruce Nauman
Blunt Truths quotes by Bruce Nauman
The Gita is a bouquet composed of the beautiful flowers of spiritual truths collected from the Vedas and the Upanishads. ~ Swami Vivekananda
Blunt Truths quotes by Swami Vivekananda
How vain, I say, it is to expect demonstration and certainty in things not capable of it; and refuse assent to very rational propositions, and act contrary to very plain and clear truths, because they cannot be made out so evident as to surmount every the least (I will not say reason, but) pretence of doubting. ~ John Locke
Blunt Truths quotes by John Locke
The truths Phaedrus began to pursue were lateral truths; no longer the frontal truths of science, those toward which the discipline pointed, but the kind of truth you see laterally, out of the corner of your eye. In a laboratory situation, when your whole procedure goes haywire, when everything goes wrong or is indeterminate or is so screwed up by unexpected results you can't make head or tail out of anything, you start looking laterally. That's a word he later used to describe a growth of knowledge that doesn't move forward like an arrow in flight, but expands sideways, like an arrow enlarging in flight, or like the archer, discovering that although he has hit the bull's-eye and won the prize, his head is on a pillow and the sun is coming in the window. Lateral knowledge is knowledge that's from a wholly unexpected direction, from a direction that's not even understood as a direction until the knowledge forces itself upon one. Lateral truths point to the falseness of axioms and postulates underlying one's existing system of getting at truth. ~ Robert M. Pirsig
Blunt Truths quotes by Robert M. Pirsig
When tempted to sin, I often repeat to myself two truths: holiness brings happiness, and purity brings power. ~ Sidney Greidanus
Blunt Truths quotes by Sidney Greidanus
I still, though, hold on to one single bleak truth: no one is safe, nothing is redeemed. Yet I am blameless. Each model of human behavior must be assumed to have some validity. Is evil something you are? Or is it something you do? My pain is constant and sharp and I do not hope for a better world for anyone. In fact I want my pain to be inflicted on others. I want no one to escape. But even after admitting this
and I have, countless times, in just about every act I've committed
and coming face to face with these truths, there is no catharsis. I gain no deeper knowledge about myself, no new understanding can be extracted from my telling. There has been no reason for me to tell you any of this. This confession has meant nothing ... ~ Bret Easton Ellis
Blunt Truths quotes by Bret Easton Ellis
God designed our psyche for singing. When singing praise to God, so much more than just the vocal box is engaged. God has created our minds to judge pitch and lyric; to think through the concepts we sing; to engage the intellect, imagination, and memory; and to remember what is set to a tune... God has formed our hearts to be moved with depth of feeling and a whole range of emotion as the melody-carried truths of who God is and whose we are sink in. ~ Keith Getty
Blunt Truths quotes by Keith Getty
Never compromise your perceptions and truth to validate the perceptions of others. ~ Debasish Mridha
Blunt Truths quotes by Debasish Mridha
Imagination can create lies that duals truths. ~ Lionel Suggs
Blunt Truths quotes by Lionel Suggs
most great truths are expressed in the common language of life; some understand them, but most people utter them without knowing how much they mean. ~ Marcus Aurelius Antoninus
Blunt Truths quotes by Marcus Aurelius Antoninus
There exists, if I am not mistaken, an entire world which is the totality of mathematical truths, to which we have access only with our mind, just as a world of physical reality exists, the one like the other independent of ourselves, both of divine creation. ~ Charles Hermite
Blunt Truths quotes by Charles Hermite
All too often, when we love somebody, we don't accept him or her as what the person effectively is. We accept him or her insofar as this person fits the co-ordinates of our fantasy. We misidentify [...] him or her – which is why, when we discover that we were wrong, love can quickly turn into violence. ~ Slavoj Zizek
Blunt Truths quotes by Slavoj Zizek
One of the most staggering truths of the Scriptures is to understand that we do not earn our way to heaven ... works have a place
but as a demonstration of having received God's forgiveness, not as a badge of merit of having earned it. ~ Ravi Zacharias
Blunt Truths quotes by Ravi Zacharias
Some simple truths are so clear to a dazzling degree that to realize them you need to think over and live for a long time ~ Ceyhun Ozsoylu
Blunt Truths quotes by Ceyhun Ozsoylu
As TV embedded itself into the national consciousness, it got us to remember how more than just the facts transmits truth and reality - and in fun, engaging ways. TV also showed us how telling our stories, confronting our own truths makes us and the people with whom we're sharing feel less lonely and alienated. ~ Lee Gutkind
Blunt Truths quotes by Lee Gutkind
Emily and I have some funny scenes where we quarrel and it gets quite heated, the mother-daughter relationship. You know, film mothers and daughters adore each other. And some don't. But how could you not love Emily Blunt? But I think I'm just one of those people who's always discontented. ~ Jacki Weaver
Blunt Truths quotes by Jacki Weaver
Truths can be wholly contradictory, the blackest black and the whitest white at the same time. ~ Nadia Hashimi
Blunt Truths quotes by Nadia Hashimi
Writing: such has been my crime ever since I was a small child. To this day writing remains my crime. Now, although I am out of prison, I continue to live inside a prison of another sort, one without steel bars. For the technology of oppression and might without justice has become more advanced, and the fetters imposed on mind and body have become invisible. The most dangerous shackles are the invisible ones, because they deceive people into believing they are free. This delusion is the new prison that people inhabit today, north and south, east and west...We inhabit the age of the technology of false consciousness, the technology of hiding truths behind amiable humanistic slogans that may change from one era to another...Democracy is not just freedom to criticize the government or head of state, or to hold parliamentary elections. True democracy obtains only when the people - women, men, young people, children - have the ability to change the system of industrial capitalism that has oppressed them since the earliest days of slavery: a system based on class division, patriarchy, and military might, a hierarchical system that subjugates people merely because they are born poor, or female, or dark-skinned. ~ Nawal El Saadawi
Blunt Truths quotes by Nawal El Saadawi
There's truths there that spiral out of what appears to be just a word game. That's what I find mystifying about the meanings of things: they kind of unscrew themselves from the practical words. ~ Tom Waits
Blunt Truths quotes by Tom Waits
