Quote by George Bernard Shaw

The truth sticks in our throats with all the sauces it is served with: it will never go down until we take it without any sauce at all.

Summary

This quote emphasizes that the truth is often difficult for us to accept or acknowledge. The "sauces" represent various excuses, rationalizations, or embellishments that we use to make the truth more palatable or comfortable. However, the quote suggests that we must confront the truth as it is, without any embellishment or justification. Only by accepting the unvarnished truth can we fully understand and internalize it.

Don't order any black things. Rejoice in his memory; and be radiant: leave grief to the children. Wear violet and purple. Be patient with the poor people who will snivel: they don't know; and they think they will live for ever, which makes death a division instead of a bond.

A fighter, a real strong fighter, should always look dignified and calm, and I believe that any expression of aggression is an expression of weakness.
