-It is often better to be given the brutal truth than to be betrayed by lies.
-Countries don't have friends, people do. Countries don't go out to a movie together, or invite each other other over for a game of pinochle. The highest regard one country can have for another is to be sufficiently hopeful, but never certain, that the other country will not attack.
-A lot of what I learned, especially the esoteric, falls away from my mind when the revisits to the subject fall into a state of desuetude. I have seen this more so in my peers who don't seem to care. It could be that I feel like it is a subtraction of something that holds value being eroded by time.
-If Socrates has taught us anything it is be wary when people speak "truths". Because if you believe them, it'll leads to a cascade of events. Truths affect how you think, what you do and who you become. When caught long enough in a whirlpool of deception, it is difficult to escape
-It
is difficult to convince someone that the "truths" they have lived
their lives on are distortions, when they have built their lives and
livelihoods on these very distortions.
