“People make a grievous error thinking that a list of facts is the truth. Facts are just the bare bones out of which truth is made.”

“it sounded stupid, but of course everything does when you're just getting the bare bones facts, only the basics…”

“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.”

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

“Facts are simple and facts are straight.
Facts are lazy and facts are late.
Facts all come with points of view.
Facts don't do what I want them to.
Facts just twist the truth around.
Facts are living turned inside out.”

“I've heard it said that God is in the details. It's the same with the truth. Leave out the details, the crucial heart, and you can damn someone with the bare bones of it.”

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

“I've nothing against people who love truth. Apart from the fact that they make dull companions.”

“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.”
