truth

Perfection itself is not the ultimate goalbut the ultimate condition of life.

Yes, this is what my senses alone have learned:__hings don__ have significance: they only have existence.Things are the only hidden meaning of things.

[Mathematics] is security. Certainty. Truth. Beauty. Insight. Structure. Architecture. I see mathematics, the part of human knowledge that I call mathematics, as one thing__ne great, glorious thing. Whether it is differential topology, or functional analysis, or homological algebra, it is all one thing. ... They are intimately interconnected, they are all facets of the same thing. That interconnection, that architecture, is secure truth and is beauty. That's what mathematics is to me.

He realized this early on, and realized too that what people think are their lives are merely its conditions. The truth is closer than thought and lies buried in what we already know.

Evolution did not design us to believe only true facts, nor to buy only useful products, nor to say only meaningful sentences

...there is no real person whose embodiment plays no role in meaning, whose meaning is purely objective and defined by the external world, and whose language can fit the external world with no significant role played by mind, brain, or body. Because our conceptual systems grow out of our bodies, meaning is grounded in and through our bodies. Because a vast range of our concepts are metaphorical, meaning is not entirely literal and the classical correspondence theory of truth is false.

Stop opposing the truths.The truth is truth no matter how you take it. It is not going to be changed for your inconvenience.

Timeless principles never age, and truth is as young as the day it was spoken into existence.

Search for truth, not for meaning. Meaning comes from the perspective of a person who interprets the truth.

Death is a terrifying experience... It threatens, with its corrosive power, our possibility of living a humane life. There are two kinds of experiences that can protect those---those able to turn to them---from the terror of the danger of death. One is the certainty of truth, the continuous awakening toward the understanding of the 'ineluctable need for truth,' without which a good life is not possible. The other is the resolute and profound illusion that life has meaning and that the meaning of life is found in performing good deeds.

If we are unfaithful to true self, we will extract a price from others. We will make promises we cannot keep, build houses from flimsy stuff, conjure dreams that devolve into nightmares, and other people will suffer - if we are unfaithful to true self.

An apology given just to appease one's conscience is self-serving and better left unspoken!

The finer natures were those that shone at the larger times.
