No legacy is so rich as honesty.

Nothing can now be believed which is seen in the newspaper. Truth itself becomes suspicious by being put into that polluted vehicle.

Many people resented my impatience and honesty, but I never cared about acceptance as much as I cared about respect.

Amid the seeming confusion of our mysterious world, individuals are so nicely adjusted to a system, and systems to one another and to a whole, that, by stepping aside for a moment, a man exposes himself to a fearful risk of losing his place forever.

It's the truth I'm after, and the truth never harmed anyone. What harms us is to persist in self-deceit and ignorance.

If you cannot be honest with yourself, there is no hope of being honest with anyone else.
