Sometimes people fear the truth. They'd rather not speak to you than know what you really think.

To be afraid is to behave as if the truth were not true.

When one is frightened of the truth then it is never the whole truth that one has an inkling of.

As long as the people don't fear the truth, there is hope. For once they fear it, the one who tells it doesn't stand a chance. And today, truth is still beautiful... but so frightening.

I do not fear truth. I welcome it. But I wish all of my facts to be in their proper context.

Fear is not in the habit of speaking truth; when perfect sincerity is expected, perfect freedom must be allowed; nor has anyone who is apt to be angry when he hears the truth any cause to wonder that he does not hear it.

People are afraid of everything.

People do think that if they avoid the truth, it might change to something better before they have to hear it.

When you get people standing up saying, 'I'm going to just tell the truth; what do we have to fear?,' it encourages others, and it creates a counterresponse.

As scientists, we need to not be afraid of the truth.
