Quote by Terry Pratchett

The truth may be out there, but lies are inside your head.

The truth may be out there, but lies are inside your head.

Summary

This quote emphasizes the idea that while the truth exists externally, it is often obscured or difficult to find. On the other hand, lies are more internal and subjective, as they originate from one's thoughts or beliefs. It suggests that the truth can be elusive and require thorough investigation, while lies can be perpetuated or influenced by personal biases and perspectives. Thus, it urges caution in one's own cognitive processes and encourages a critical examination of information before accepting it as truth.

My beloved has arrived, but rather than greeting him, All I

My beloved has arrived, but rather than greeting him, All I can do is bite the corner of my apron with a blank expression- What an awkward woman am I. My heart has longed for him as hugely and openly as a full moonBut instead I narrow my eyes, and my glance to him Is sharp and narrow as the crescent moon. But then, I'm not the only one who behaves this way. My mother and my mother's mother were as silly and stumbling as I am when they were girls...Still, the love from my heart is overflowing, As bright and crimson as the heated metal in a blacksmith's forge.
