“Listen closely... the eternal hush of silence goes on and on throughout all this.” ― Jack Kerouac

 "Truth is a very high standard, Truth is not a plaything. To tell what is true within ourselves is not to tell what we think; it is not to tell our opinion. It is not to dump the garbage can of our mind onto somebody else. All of that is illusion, distortion, projection. Truth is not unloading our opinions onto someone. That is not truth, Truth is not telling our beliefs about things. That is not truth. Those are ways that we actually hide from truth

Truth is much more intimate than that. When we tell the truth, it has a sense of confession. I don't mean in a confession of something bad or wrong, but I mean the sense that we come completely out of hiding. Truth is a simple thing. To speak the truth is to speak from a sense of total & absolute unprotectedness."
