Truth quote in someone's sig here...

[megababymomma]

Hi... many moons ago I noticed a quote in someone's signature on this board. It was about Truth...

something to the effect of: truth is initially met with outrage/great resistance...

does anyone know the quote? or if you are the keeper of said sig... will you post here so I can snatch it from you?!

Thank you!

Is this it?

All truth goes through three stages: First it is ridiculed; second it is violently opposed; and third, it is accepted as self-evident. Arthur Schopenhauer

Here are a couple more in case you want to be original -

my first thought was gloria steinem's quote:

"The truth will set you free. But first it will piss you off"

but it sounds like the other one is what you're talking about. LOL

Here's one Ive always liked

"An error can never become true however many times you repeat it. The truth can never be wrong, even if no one ever hears about it."

Mahatma Gandhi

[Gitti]

And of course Mark Twain had a lot to say about TRUTH.

For instance:

Truth is mighty and will prevail.
There is nothing the matter with this, except that it ain't so.

I so hope he was wrong.
