“There is more beauty in the truth even if it is dreadful beauty. The storytellers at the city gate twist life so that it looks sweet to the lazy and the stupid and the weak, and this not only strengthens their infirmity and teaches nothing, cures nothing, nor does it let the heart soar.” — John Steinbeck
