Alan LightmanEach time is true, but the truths are not the same.
About This Quote
When we tell ourselves something repeatedly, we can begin to believe it. But, there is a difference between believing something and knowing it to be true. We can know something to be true and still not be able to explain why. For example, if someone tells you that the sky is blue, you can know that the sky is blue and still not know why. You don’t need to explain the color; you just know it.
