Quote by George Berkeley

Truth is the cry of all, but the game of few.

Truth is the cry of all, but the game of few.

Summary

This quote suggests that although everyone claims to seek and value truth, only a select few are truly committed to it. Many people may talk about truth, demand it, or proclaim they possess it, but when it comes to actually living by it, only a small number of individuals are engaged in the pursuit of absolute honesty and authenticity. It highlights the discrepancy between the idealized desire for truth and the practical effort required to uncover and embrace it, revealing that for most people, truth becomes more of a game or a tool rather than an unwavering principle to live by.

So that's what we did - rocketing down Sixth Avenue, dashing around the rest of the post-concert crowd, splashing our tracks until our ankles were soaked. You took the lead, and I started to lose my sprint. But then you looked back, stopped, and waited for me to catch up, for me to take your hand, for us to continue to run in the rain, drenched and enchanted, my words to Amanda no longer feeling like a requirement, but a foretelling.
