Quote by Paulo Coelho
Telling the truth and making someone cry is better than telling a lie and making someone smile.
Summary
This quote reflects the value of honesty over deceit. It suggests that even if speaking the truth leads to causing someone emotional pain or making them cry, it is still preferable to lying and creating a false sense of happiness. It emphasizes the importance of integrity and the belief that genuine emotional reactions, even if unpleasant, are more authentic and meaningful than superficial expressions of joy based on falsehoods.
