Do you believe in the value of truth, my dear, or don’t you?”“ Of course I believe in the truth, ” said Rhoda, staring.“ Yes, you say that, but perhaps you haven’t thought about it. The truth hurts sometimes — and destroys one’s illusions.”“ I’d rather have it all the same.” said Rhoda. “So would I. But I don’t know that we’re wise.” Mrs. Oliver; Rhoda Dawes Agatha Christie
About This Quote

The quote above is very important because it gives you a great insight into the value of truth and how it can be painful at times. Many people would rather not face the truth and instead would rather live in their illusions. The truth is what makes us all who we really are and it is our perceptions of truth that hold us back from true growth and understanding. We all have our own perception of what is right and wrong, what is good and bad. To live in an illusion sometimes we must build a wall around ourselves to protect the idea that what we believe to be true is all there is.
