“Academic writing excuses itself from rhetorical care in the selfless service of some precise truth—and then deforms our only means for speaking truth.”

“Speak the truth, or it will reveal itself.”

“Truth is neither ojectivity nor the balanced view; truth is a selfless subjectivity.”

“Selfless service is the soap that purifies our mind.”

“Always speak the truth, think before you speak, and write it down afterwards.”

“You can destroy those who speak the truth, but you cannot destroy the truth itself”

“To be an intellectual really means to speak a truth that allows suffering to speak.”

“For to speak the truth, there are but few that care thus to spend their time, but choose rather to be speaking of things to no profit.”

“Rhetoric is a dangerous art. It is the manipulation of the difference, one might say the distance, between truth and image […] And in our times, that distance has become the means by which power is exercised”

“The Kafka paradox: art depends on truth, but truth, being indivisable, cannot know itself: to tell the truth is to lie. thus the writer is the truth, and yet when he speaks he lies.”
