Truth is used to vitalize a statement rather than devitalize it. Truth implies more than a simple statement of fact. I don't have any whisky, may be a fact but it is not a truth Picture Quote #1

She felt whatever emotions she felt, but feeling was never a useful substitute for doing, and she never let the former get in the way of the latter.

My wife, too, seemed willing to learn. Old as we must have looked to our children, we were still taking lessons, in how to be grown-up Picture Quote #1

National liberation, national renaissance, the restoration of nationhood to the people, commonwealth: whatever may be the headings used or the new formulas introduced, decolonization is always a violent phenomenon Picture Quote #1
