Francis Beauchesne Thornton Quotes

Truth, An Objective Thing, Is Usually Conceived Of As Something Simple. Quite The Opposite Is Correct: Truth Is Enormously Complicated; It Calls For Effort On Several Levels To Arrive At Its Definition; It Demands The Utmost Devotion In Its Service.
Do You Doubt It? Then Resolve Evermore To Tell The Whole Truth And Nothing But The Truth. You Must Hurt Your Friends, Suffer The Most Pitiless Scrutiny And Persecution, Turn The Festive Occasion Into A Nightmare Of Share Words And Recriminations. You Will Be Called "a Sour-puss," A Curmudgeon, A Difficult Man, And Very Possibly A Knave And An Untruthful Braggart.
The World, As It Is Organized, Is A Conspiracy Against Truth. Individuals, Communities, Nations, They Are All Afraid Of The Truth As If It Were A Medusa Head Which Froze Men To Stone, Even As It Froze Them To Virtue.
