Famous quotes containing the word truths:

“The truths of religion are never so well understood as by those who have lost the power of reason.”

“All the sweetness of religion is conveyed to children by the hands of storytellers and image-makers. Without their fictions the truths of religion would for the multitude be neither intelligible nor even apprehensible; and the prophets would prophesy and the philosophers celebrate in vain. And nothing stands between the people and the fictions except the silly falsehood that the fictions are literal truths, and that there is nothing in religion but fiction.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

“There are truths which one can only say after having won the right to say them.”
—Jean Cocteau (1889–1963)
