“Sometimes, truth causes pain and suffering. At such times, silence is preferred. In fact, there may be times when a white lie, could actually lead to a good outcome.”
― Amish Tripathi, Scion of Ikshvaku

“Dans l'opprimé d'hier, l'oppresseur de demain.”

“You can't speak life to others if you don't know how to speak life to yourself. Dead leaves can't breathe.”
― Kemi Sogunle

“It is only the cynic who claims “to speak the truth” at all times and in all places to all men in the same way, but who, in fact, displays nothing but a lifeless image of the truth. . . . He dons the halo of the fanatical devotee of truth who can make no allowance for human weaknesses; but, in fact, he is destroying the living truth between men. He wounds shame, desecrates mystery, breaks confidence, betrays the community in which he lives, and laughs arrogantly at the devastation he has wrought and at the human weakness which “cannot bear the truth.”
― Dietrich Bonheoffer
