Lessing, Pure Truth quote - Blue Pill/Red Pill.

The true value of a man is not determined by his possession, supposed or real, of Truth, but rather by his sincere exertion to get to what lies behind the Truth. It is not possession of the Truth, but rather the pursuit of Truth by which he extends his powers and in which his ever-growing perfectibility is to be found. Possession makes one passive, indolent, vain - If God held enclosed in his right hand all truth, and in his left land the ever-living striving for truth and said to me 'choose', although with the qualification I shall forever err, I should humbly chose the left hand and say "Father, give! pure truth is for thee alone." -Lessing.
