“The great error of traditional proofs of the existence of god is that they try to take a symbolic truth for a literal truth, a truth of fact, and then try to prove that it is a fact.”

“You may take great comfort from the fact that suffering inwardly for the sake of truth proves abundantly that one loves it and marks one out as being of the elect.”

“It is as much an error to take truth for lies, as lies for truth.”

“There's a world of difference between truth and facts. Facts can obscure truth.”

“To kill an error is as good a service as, and sometimes even better than, the establishing of a new truth or fact.”

“What is truth? The negation of lies? Or the statement of a fact? And if the fact is a lie, what then is the truth?”

“Facts do not convey truth. That's a mistake. Facts create norms, but truth creates illumination.”

“Truth is what is true, and it's not necessarily factual. Truth and fact are not the same thing. Truth does not contradict or deny facts, but it goes through and beyond facts. This is something that it is very difficult for some people to understand. Truth can be dangerous.”

“There are two kinds of truths: those of reasoning and those of fact. The truths of reasoning are necessary and their opposite is impossible; the truths of fact are contingent and their opposites are possible.”

“The ultimate truth in this universe is the truth of oneness. Therefore each being in existence is in fact an extension of what many call "God". We are indivisible from it. And as such, having good relationships with people is the same as having a good relationship with God.”
