Although my mom and I had often disagreed politically and personally, she'd led our family by example, instilling in us a can-do attitude that often defied reason - an optimism many would call foolish, ignorant, and naive, but an optimism that occasionally shocked our neighbors and our world with its brazen veracity.

Dustin Lance Black

The president has undermined trust. No longer will the members of Congress be entitled to accept his veracity. Caveat emptor has become the word. Every member of Congress is on his or her own to determine the truth.

Bob Graham

I like writing flawed women, and being one, it's something I feel I can write with some veracity and authority.

Callie Khouri

I can't establish the veracity of what people say because only they know whether they are telling the truth. I can't look into your mind, can I?

Dustin Lance Black

I feel like I've been very blessed in the sense that I've had the veracity of spirit to not be stopped and, at the same time, the protective energy and the generosity of those who have come before me, who saw something inside of me and, therefore, invited me into rooms that I would not have been inside of otherwise.

George C. Wolfe

One of the reasons, surely, why women have been credited with less perfect veracity than men is that the burden of conventional falsehood falls chiefly on them.

Katharine Elizabeth Fullerton Gerould

Art is a habit-forming drug. Art has absolutely no existence as veracity, as truth. People always speak of it with this great, religious reverence, but why should it be so revered?

Marcel Duchamp

Words such as truth, art, veracity, or anything are stupid in themselves.

Marcel Duchamp

As a memoirist, I strive for veracity.

Mary Karr

I was, as president and chairman of the board, required by law to verify the veracity of the financial figures, the assets under management, the number of outstanding shares, et cetera.

Matt Bevin

The American obsession with 'Downton' amuses me slightly because it's such a fiction. I've always been questioned about my historical veracity, and 'Downton' just flies past, when it's completely made up.

Michael Hirst

It gives me confidence to know that what I'm writing has a veracity of its own without me having to invent it. When I'm writing fiction, I must believe it to be true, or I can see no point in it.

Michael Morpurgo

Hope is the only universal liar who never loses his reputation for veracity.

Robert Green Ingersoll

The written tone and the spoken tone change and the reporters' disbelief in the veracity of the government spreads to the readers and the viewers.
