Quote by Flannery O'Connor
I preach there are all kinds of truth, your truth and somebody else's, but behind all of them, there's only one truth and that is that there is no truth... No truth behind all truths is what I and this church preach! Where you come from is gone, where you thought you were going to never was there, and where you are is no good unless you can get away from it. Where is there a place for you to be? No place... In yourself right now is all the place you've got.
Summary
This quote challenges the concept of absolute truth, suggesting that truth is subjective and solely dependent on individual perspectives. It emphasizes the idea that there is no ultimate truth behind all truths, positing that truth is a relative and ever-changing notion. The quote encourages individuals to embrace their present circumstances and seek liberation from constraints imposed by external influences. It proposes that one can only find solace and contentment by looking inward and accepting oneself in the present moment, as it is the only place where a sense of belonging can be found.
