• On "Tonight" I think I was torn dreadfully between writing what I wanted to write, but keeping it in a style that would follow up what I had just done. That's where I feel I was untrue to myself as an artist . . . that album and, to a lesser extent, "Never Let Me Down."

• Americans, like human beings everywhere, believe many things that are obviously untrue, the monograph went on. Their most destructive untruth is that it is very easy for any American to make money.

• La fidelidad a la verdad de la historia implica mucho más que una investigación, por paciente y escrupulosa que sea, de hechos especiales. Tales hechos pueden detallarse con la más minuciosa exactitud y, sin embargo, la narración, tomada en su conjunto, puede carecer de sentido o ser falsa. El narrador debe tratar de impregnarse de la vida y el espíritu de la época. Debe estudiar los acontecimientos en sus aspectos cercanos y remotos; en el carácter, hábitos y modales de quienes tomaron parte en ellos. Él mismo debe ser, por así decirlo, partícipe o espectador de la acción que describe.

• I was 12 when I ordered my first guitar out of the worn and discolored pages of the Sears and Roebuck catalog. The story that I bought it on the installment plan is untrue, the invention of a Hollywood press agent. Local color. I paid cash, $8, money I had saved as a hired hand on my uncle Calvin's farm, baling and stacking hay. Prairie hay, used as feed for the cattle in winter. It was mean work for a wiry boy, but ambition made me strong.

• Todo hombre ha sido educado con la idea de que las mujeres decentes no entran y salen de la cama; su madre siempre le ha dicho que "las chicas buenas no lo hacen". Cuando se hace mayor se da cuenta, por supuesto, de que eso puede no ser cierto, pero sólo en un determinado sector de la sociedad.

• It is some disaster for any mind to hold any one thing for truth that is untrue, however insignificant it be, or however honestly it be held. It is a greater disaster when the false prejudice bars the way to some truth behind it, which, but for it, would find an entrance to the soul; and the greatness of the disaster will in this case be measured by the importance of the excluded truth.

• At the classical origins of philosophic thought, the transcending concepts remained committed to the prevailing separation between intellectual and manual labor to the established society of enslavement. ... Those who bore the brunt of the untrue reality and who, therefore, seemed to be most in need of attaining its subversion were not the concern of philosophy. It abstracted from them and continued to abstract from them.

• Was she terrifyingly beautiful? Was she so ignorant she didn't deserve the truth? Was she also a liar and thus it was something they did together? I don't believe in psychology; which says everything you do is because of yourself. That is so untrue. We are social animals, and everything we do is because of other people, because we love them, or because we don't.

• El interés generalizado por los cotilleos no está inspirado por el amor al conocimiento, sino por la malicia: nadie cotillea sobre las virtudes secretas de los demás, sino sólo sobre sus vicios secretos. En consecuencia, la mayoría de los chismes son falsos, pero se tiene cuidado de no verificarlos. Los pecados del prójimo, como los consuelos de la religión, son tan agradables que no nos detenemos a escudriñar las pruebas con detenimiento.
