Truthfulness Quotes Novels & Stories

"Huwag ninyong hayaang ang inggit, galit, o kasinungalingan ang magdikta ng inyong pagkatao." "Dahil sa huli..." "Lumalabas pa rin ang katotohanan." "And when it does..." "It's not the truth that destroys a person." "It's the lies they chose to live by." Tahimik ang buong venue. Ilang segundo ang lumipas bago nagsimula ang malakas na palakpakan. Hindi dahil sa posisyon ko. Hindi dahil sa pangalan ko. Kundi dahil sa mensaheng nais kong iwan sa lahat.

Ang kaniyang mga daliri ay pinunasan ang mga luhang patuloy na dumadaloy sa aking pisngi. Ang kaniyang mga mata ay tumitig nang malalim sa aking mga mata, tila ba doon niya gustong itanim ang katotohanan ng kaniyang mga salita. "Please believe me. I'm telling the truth. I don't want to lose your trust. I really mean it. You know I will never lie to you…” "Pero ang kasal mo—"

He asked, disbelief was laced in his words. "Of cou-" Naputol muli ang aking sasabihin nang sumagot ito. "Sigurado ka bang magiging honest ka sakin? Sigurado ka ba na magiging tapat ka sakin? Sure ka ba na willing kang ibigay ang lahat? Magiging madali ba? Magiging totoo ka ba sakin? Makikipag communicate ka ba sakin? Sure ka ba na magiging masaya ka sa puder ko? Sure ka ba na contented ka? Panatag ka? Sure ka ba na kaya mo ang lahat habang nandito ka sakin? While in my arms? Sure ka ba-" Tuloy tuloy ang tanong nito but he was cut off when I spoke.

“But lies are easier to destroy.” Napahawak siya sa gilid ng mesa. Hindi niya alam kung bakit mas lumilinaw ang utak niya sa bawat salitang sinasabi nito. Hindi siya nito pinoprotektahan sa katotohanan. Pero sa bawat tama ng real talk nito, may kasamang kamay na parang nagsasabing kaya niyang lumaban. At aminado siyang nagbibigay iyon sa kanya ng lakas.

It felt like my heart is dying again. "Please try to open your ears for him too. If you fully trust me, you will let him explain his side to you. You will let him have his chance to speak about the truth. Hindi lahat ng nakikita mo ay totoo. Sometimes, truth are hidden beneath the lowest, beyond the grasp of a human's naked eye. Hear his side, kung hindi ka kuntento at sa tingin mo ay kalokohan ang rason niya, I don't have any say on that. It's yours to decide."

Pero kahit sabihin na ganoon ang nangyari ay nanatili parin siyang hindi makapaniwala sa bawat salitang nanulas at narinig niyang namutawi mula sa bibig ng binata. Noon tumango si Vincent. “Hey, seriously? I know you heard me right? I just told you the truth. So if for example, they find it difficult to like or love you that is not your problem anymore. The best thing to do is smile. Because the truth is, you can make me really happy every time you do that,” anito.

I really hope someone can tell me. Well, if a guy looks, it's already his fault, right? That's usually how moral works. Or is it? What if the girls won't wear such clothing in the first place? Does it change the outcome? I don't think so. Anyway, I'm a bad liar if I so myself. As far as I'm concern, I can't fake truths. When I said I need money, I'm not actually lying. I need money, that's for a fact. I didn't lie, right?

Tumigil siya sa may pintuan at tumingin pabalik sa akin. “My advice, Miss reporter,” mahina niyang sabi pero malinaw, “stop chasing ghosts. The truth is never what you think it is… and sometimes, knowing it is far more dangerous than ignorance.” seryoso nitong sabi habang direktang nakatingin sa mga mata ko. Matapos nyang sabihin yun, naglakad na siya papalayo, hanggang sa mawala siya sa paningin ko. Naiwan akong nakatayo, hindi makagalaw at gulat sa mga sinabi nya.

That tone— It almost sounded gentle. Almost. “I don’t know what you want me to say,” I admitted. “The truth.” My breath caught. “Which one?” I whispered. Julian stilled. “What does that mean?” I looked down. Because even I didn’t fully understand it. “There’s your truth…” I said slowly. “…and then there’s what I feel.” Silence. Dangerous silence. Julian leaned closer. “Feelings can be misleading,” he said softly. “Or they can be real.”

Muling binuga ko ang mabigat na hininga at napasapo sa noo sa sobrang pag-aalala na baka hindi ako magugustuhan ng mga kasamahan niya. Rinig kong bumuntong-hininga siya at sinandal ang sarili sa upuan para tignan ako. Ang dalawang kamay ay nanatiling nakapahinga sa manobela. "It doesn't matter if they like you or not. What matter most is that you like yourself. No one will like you the way you will like yourself," ayon na naman siya sa mga motivational at inspirational quotes niya. Hindi nalang ko umimik at piniling manahimik habang tinitignan sa gilid ng mga mata na paadarin ang sasakyan.
