Quote

I speak the truth not so much as I would, but as much as I dare, and I dare a little more as I grow older.

I am honest; I speak the truth, and I sometimes probably go overboard and speak my mind.

And you must dare to do as many things as you dream of.

We must dare, and dare again, and go on daring.

I put my foot in my mouth more than I speak properly.

I always say, dare to struggle, dare to grin.

What self-respecting teenage kid growing up in the U.S. hasn't played Truth or Dare? Before cell phones, we kids spent a lot of time in the same place and actually had to come up with our own entertainment. Truth or Dare was the game of choice to break the ice between the boys and the girls.

Every one speaks well of his own heart, but no one dares speak well of his own mind.

I try not to be too profane around children or old people. Other than that, that's how I speak.

Through language, we can tell the truth and hear the truth spoken, just as we can be deceived. Sometimes it's a painful realization: we can be lied to. As I write, I think of myself as putting my eye under oath, so that what I write is the truth about my characters.
