“Truth may sometimes hurt, but delusion harms.”

“How can we do justice even when it concerns truth itself, since for me only one truth exists, my truth, even if it is a delusion, yes, my delusion; my delusion.”

“Because the truth sometimes hurts," I said.
Yeah," he said. "So do lies, though.”

“Falsehood and delusion are allowed in no case whatever: But, as in the exercise of all the virtues, there is an œconomy of truth. It is a sort of temperance, by which a man speaks truth with measure that he may speak it the longer.”

“If we have truth, [it] cannot be harmed by investigation. If we have not truth, it ought to be harmed.”

“Through the years, I have learned there is no harm in charging oneself up with delusions between moments of valid inspiration.”

“Such as harm is when it hurts me not, is good which avails me not.”

“Better a cruel truth than a comfortable delusion.”

“Sometimes, kids want you to hurt the way they hurt.”

“The truth doesn’t hurt. Whatever it is, it doesn’t hurt. It’s better to know the truth.”
