Untrue Quotes

A great many things have been pronounced untrue and absurd, and even impossible, by the highest authorities in the age in which they lived, which have afterwards, and, indeed, within a very short period, been found to be both possible and true Picture Quote #1

I would be lying if I said the journalism doesn’t reflect my own choices as a reporter and a writer: what to say, what to emphasize, how to say it, what is true or untrue Picture Quote #1

When I say something untrue on the air, I mean for it to be transparently untrue. I assume people know when I’m just saying something for effect. Or to be funny Picture Quote #1

Art is a reality, not a definition; inasmuch as it approaches a reality, it approaches perfection, and inasmuch as it approaches a mere definition, it is imperfect and untrue Picture Quote #1

I wish, naturally to prevent the possibility that someone may write an accidental, superficial, incomplete and perhaps untrue picture of me Picture Quote #1

A picture is a thing which requires as much knavery, as much malice, and as much vice as the perpetration of a crime. Make it untrue and add an accent of truth Picture Quote #1

It is simply untrue that all our institutions are evil,... that all politicians are mere opportunists, that all aspects of university life are corrupt. Having discovered an illness, it’s not terribly useful to prescribe death as a cure Picture Quote #1

I think it is quite untrue that it is standard journalistic practice to name the interviewer when quoting from an interview Picture Quote #1

After the temper subsides and one has a moment to calmly reflect, it isn’t uncommon for declarations shouted in a fit of rage to strike one as untrue, and because they may have been hurtful to family, friends, lovers, husbands, or wives, one wishes them unsaid Picture Quote #1

The single story creates stereotypes, and the problem with stereotypes is not that they are untrue, but that they are incomplete. They make one story become the only story Picture Quote #1

Faithfulness to the truth of history involves far more than a research, however patient and scrupulous, into special facts. Such facts may be detailed with the most minute exactness, and yet the narrative, taken as a whole, may be unmeaning or untrue. The narrator must seek to imbue himself with the life and spirit of the time. He must study events in their bearings near and remote; in the character, habits, and manners of those who took part in them. He must himself be, as it were, a sharer or a spectator of the action he describes Picture Quote #1

What is true is already so. Owning up to it doesn’t make it worse. Not being open about it doesn’t make it go away. And because it’s true, it is what is there to be interacted with. Anything untrue isn’t there to be lived. People can stand what is true, for they are already enduring it Picture Quote #1

I am as firmly convinced that religions do harm as I am that they are untrue Picture Quote #1

People forget that stereotypes aren’t bad because they are always untrue. Stereotypes are bad because they are not always true. If we allow ourselves to judge another based on a stereotype, we have allowed a gross generalization to replace our own thinking Picture Quote #1

The great argument used now against any theological proposition is not, that it is untrue, or unthinkable, or unedifying, or unscriptural, or unorthodox, but simply, that the modern mind cannot accept it Picture Quote #1

A lot of horrible, unfair, untrue things have been said about me. I can only say that the best revenge is success Picture Quote #1

The planet is asleep and it’s the fault of musicians who are untrue to themselves Picture Quote #1

When men no longer have the least fear of saying something untrue, they very soon have no fear whatsoever of doing something unjust Picture Quote #1

One hears a lot of talk about the hostility between scientists and engineers. I don’t believe in any such thing. In fact I am quite certain it is untrue... There cannot possibly be anything in it because neither side has anything to do with the other Picture Quote #1

Lipstick on your collar said you were untrue. Bet your bottom dollar, you and I are through Picture Quote #1

The demagogue is one who preaches doctrines he knows to be untrue to men he knows to be idiots Picture Quote #1

This drive to always want more is based on the misconceptions that having more will make me more happy, more important, and more secure, but all three ideas are untrue. Possessions only provide temporary happiness. Because things do not change, we eventually become bored with them and then want newer, bigger, better versions Picture Quote #1

I believe politicians should aim to be accurate and truthful in what they say at all times. You can be truthful and inaccurate but what you shouldn’t be doing at any time is saying things that are untrue or making commitments that you have no intention of honouring Picture Quote #1

I’m always interested in debunking myths if they are untrue. But it’s also important to identify myths and how they function, what value they may have Picture Quote #1

Whatever you have read I have said is almost certainly untrue, except if it is funny, in which case I definitely said it Picture Quote #1

Mostly it’s lies, writing novels. You set out to tell an untrue story and you try to make it believable, even to yourself. Which calls for details; any good lie does Picture Quote #1

Any thought of discomfort or stress is an alarm that lets you know you’re believing an untrue thought Picture Quote #1

A proposition of geometry does not compete with life; and a proposition of geometry is a fair and luminous parallel for a work of art. Both are reasonable, both untrue to the crude fact; both inhere in nature, neither represents it Picture Quote #1

A strange thing, words. Once they’re said, it’s hard to imagine they’re untrue Picture Quote #1
