Carson McCullers Quotes

I really think that people never go wrong by telling the truth.

I don't like to act in my personal life. I like to be straightforward.

I learned at a very early age, the easiest thing in the world is to tell the truth, and then you don't have to remember what you said. It has nothing to do with morality, just remembering what you said.

The right thing to do never requires any subterfuge, it is always simple and direct.

The elegance of honesty needs no adornment.

The words of truth are simple.

I'm an honest dude, not trying to be anything other than who I am.

I feel like when you just say what the truth is, you can't really comment more than that.

The truth is always easier than a lie or an evasion - easier to deal with and easier to live with.

The truth is ever best.

The badge of honesty is simplicity.

Above all, tell the truth.

Don't bullshit' just play.

If you don't say the honest thing, it never becomes true.

Honesty has a beautiful and refreshing simplicity about it. No ulterior motives. No hidden meanings. An absence of hypocrisy, duplicity, political games, and verbal superficiality. As honesty and real integrity characterize our lives, there will be no need to manipulate others.

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with telling the truth. I know it isn’t fashionable.

Probably what my comment meant was that I don't care about the circumstances if I can tell the truth.

Sincerity is not only effective and honourable, it is also much less difficult than is commonly supposed.

Tell the truth because then you don't have to have a good memory.

For truth has such a face and such a mien, as to be loved needs only to be seen.

I'm just a real person and I tell it like it is. I don't have a lot of secrets, which has been a fault of mine.

Nothing more completely baffles one who is full of trick and duplicity, than straightforward and simple integrity in another.

There's just some magic in truth and honesty and openness.

Look, I'm not a perfect person. I have my warts. I sometimes say things that get me in trouble. I wear suits that are cheap. But I say what I think and I believe what I say, and I'm willing to say things that are not popular but ordinary people know are right.

If somebody asks for my opinion, I tell them my opinion, whether it's what they want to hear or not.
