Man is always prey to his truths. Once he has admitted them, he cannot free himself from them.

About This Quote

The truth is often hard to accept. We all have some level of stubbornness on our side, but it’s our willingness to face the truth that matters most. We must be open to the possibility that we’re wrong, and even more important, we must be willing to make changes when necessary. The truth is always out there, but only if you’re willing to look for it.
