But if you want to know the truth the weirdest thing that has happened has been my discovery that people who attend the conventions are filled with love.
When I grew up in Taiwan the Korean War was seen as a good war where America protected Asia. It was sort of an extension of World War II. And it was of course the peak of the Cold War. People in Taiwan were generally proAmerican. The Korean War made Japan. And then the Vietnam War made Taiwan. There is some truth to that.
Fiction is a kind of compassion-generating machine that saves us from sloth. Is life kind or cruel? Yes Literature answers. Are people good or bad? You bet says Literature. But unlike other systems of knowing Literature declines to eradicate one truth in favor of another.
I guess I'm pretty much of a lone wolf. I don't say I don't like people at all but to tell you the truth I only like it then if I have a chance to look deep into their hearts and their minds.
There are new words now that excuse everybody. Give me the good old days of heroes and villains the people you can bravo or hiss. There was a truth to them that all the slick credulity of today cannot touch.
The lowest form of popular culture - lack of information misinformation disinformation and a contempt for the truth or the reality of most people's lives - has overrun real journalism. Today ordinary Americans are being stuffed with garbage.
I've been & am absurdly over-estimated. There are no supermen & I'm quite ordinary & will say so whatever the artistic results. In that point I'm one of the few people who tell the truth about myself.
Most people think that shadows follow precede or surround beings or objects. The truth is that they also surround words ideas desires deeds impulses and memories.
We were talking about the space between us all and the people who hide themselves behind a wall of illusion. Never glimpse the truth - then it's far too late when they pass away.
People will tell you anything but what they do is always the truth.
Truth is a demure lady much too ladylike to knock you on your head and drag you to her cave. She is there but people must want her and seek her out.
To me a real patriot is like a real friend. Who's your real friend? It's the person who tells you the truth. That's who my real friends are. So you know I think as far as our country goes we need more people who will do that.
The truth is that sometimes it is hard even for me to recognize the Hillary Clinton that other people see.
I am saddened by how people treat one another and how we are so shut off from one another and how we judge one another when the truth is we are all one connected thing. We are all from the same exact molecules.
Ah well the truth is always one thing but in a way it's the other thing the gossip that counts. It shows where people's hearts lie.
Expectations are a form of first-class truth: If people believe it it's true.
A lot of people are afraid to tell the truth to say no. That's where toughness comes into play. Toughness is not being a bully. It's having backbone.
