Robert Penn Warren Quotes

For The Truth Is A Terrible Thing. You Dabble Your Foot In It And It Is Nothing. But You Walk A Little Farther And You Feel It Pull You Like An Undertow Or A Whirlpool. First There Is The Slow Pull So Steady And Gradual You Scarcely Notice It, Then The Acceleration, Then The Dizzy Whirl And Plunge Into Darkness. For There Is A Blackness Of Truth, Too. They Say It Is A Terrible Thing To Fall Into The Grace Of God. I Am Prepared To Believe That.
