Even truth needs to be clad in new garments if it is to appeal to a new age.

 
Georg Christoph Lichtenberg
 

Ever from one who comes to-morrow
Men wait their good and truth to borrow.

 
Ralph Waldo Emerson
 

Truth frightens man. He plants illusion in the debris of his mind to hide him from the clean white light she brings. His arguments defeat her wisdom. In his preconceptions and prejudices he dictates, in advance, what form she must take, what garments she must wear; and because of this he often does not recognize her when they meet. His illusion drives her from him.
And yet he still yearns and seeks for truth.

 
Mark Clifton
 

Cling to truth and it turns into falsehood. Understand falsehood and it turns into truth. Truth and falsehood are two sides of the same coin. Neither accept one nor reject the other.

 
Ryokan
 

A poet ought not to pick nature's pocket: let him borrow, and so borrow as to repay by the very act of borrowing. Examine nature accurately, but write from recollection; and trust more to your imagination than to your memory.

 
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
