People said they wanted the truth, but what they really wanted was the segment of truth that would frank them. The whole truth was too terrible for most people to contemplate.

Anthony Gilbert

The search for truth can be compared to a cat chasing her tail: frantic in her pursuit, her quarry nevertheless eludes her; despite the fact that all the world can see it's right there, it remains just beyond her reach. It cannot be possessed because, paradoxically, it is already part of her.

Anthony Gilbert

Truth, in case you haven't recognized the fact, is what you can persuade the other chap to believe.
