Ugly Truth Quotes

“The truth can have a funny way of revealing itself. One would like to think, in all its undeniable power, it would always be obvious. Either golden, a glorious beam that parts the clouds and lights the way, or totally hideous, a nasty pit that opens up in the earth, completely dark save the theroid eyes and teeth of those terrible monsters that reside there. But it can be sneakier than these. It can be pernicious. It can creep in like smoke, slowly but unwavering, until all that’s left is that blackness that one would expect in the pit, but instead of the monsters, it’s the thing itself that begins to kill you, only from the inside out.”
― A.D. Aliwat, In Limbo

― A.D. Aliwat

“Comfort blinds people. The Green Wall gives them peace of mind, something to cling to. Facing this?” He gestured to the decay around them. “This is harder. It’s raw, ugly, and real. Most would rather live in the illusion.”
― Andrei Chetan
