You should not do an autobiography if you want to tell the truth. There are a lot of things I know about people. If I can't say something good about a person, I don't want to say anything. And since I don't want to say anything bad, I won't write a book.

Abraham A. Ribicoff

The truth is a mayor can actually do very little to alter the course of a huge city run by the free market that is home to banking - the engine room of capitalism.

A. A. Gill

So with truth - there is a certain moment when one can say, this is the truth and here I put a dot, a stop, and I go to another thing. A judge has to put an end to a deliberation. But for a historian, there's never an end to the past. It can go on and on and on.

A. B. Yehoshua

I think artists are really the root of a tree. They can search for truth or reality in their own way, and the gallery can support them - the outside part of the tree, where it is more about reaching the outside world, connecting with the outside world. That is the role of the gallery, no? Why does the artist have to do that?

A. Balasubramaniam

In a sense, there's a great truth to that, but, also I was a great reader.

A. E. van Vogt

Truth comes to us mediated by human love.

A. N. Wilson

Of all liars the most arrogant are biographers: those who would have us believe, having surveyed a few boxes full of letters, diaries, bank statements and photographs, that they can play at the recording angel and tell the whole truth about another human life.

A. N. Wilson

I don't think you can tell the objective truth about a person. That's why people write novels.

A. N. Wilson

Ultimately, education in its real sense is the pursuit of truth. It is an endless journey through knowledge and enlightenment.

A. P. J. Abdul Kalam

In every truth, the beneficiaries of a system cannot be expected to destroy it.

A. Philip Randolph

If there is no criticism, you become lazy. But it should be constructive, and it should be the truth. If it's biased and there's no truth in it, then I don't care about it. If it's true, it helps me grow.

A. R. Rahman

So long as you do it truthfully, music is not to be judged.

A. R. Rahman

If you want to teach women to be great writers, you should show them the best, and the best was often done by men. It was more often done by men than by women, if we're going to be truthful.

A. S. Byatt

There's a couple guys that I'd like to wrestle, but truthfully, I want to wrestle as many guys as I can.

A.J. Styles

No one wants to hear the truth if it isn't what they want to hear.

Aaron Brown

White people need to wake up and tell the truth about US history and the inequality and the ways in which racism is so entrenched.

Aaron Dessner

It's so hard for me to wrap my head around the concept of truth, I don't even know what people mean by it.

Aaron Koblin

The truth is I'm not actually an expert programmer! I really don't consider myself to be an expert at anything. For me, it's more about having a well-rounded and broad horizon. I think that's where a lot of the more interesting things come from - mashing up completely disparate aspects of life to create something new and original.

Aaron Koblin

Most people, it seems, stretch the truth to make themselves seem more impressive. I, it seems, stretch the truth to make myself look worse.

Aaron Swartz

The calling of art is to extract us from our daily reality, to bring us to a hidden truth that's difficult to access - to a level that's not material but spiritual.

Abbas Kiarostami

I film normal-life subjects in natural settings that some people would consider uncinematic. But what I want to show is nature itself, as the truth of life.
