I don't think I can vote until someone explains the difference between the two.

Beauty is a good exterior, truth is a good interior.

beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
truth is universal.
I believe more in beauty, but think truth has more value.

Art should not be constrained by the truth, and it is always beautiful to someone, if not everyone. As this is posted in the art forum I shall therefore go with beauty.

Truth is a subjective opinion based on the known facts at the time. Two people can be convinced of opposing "truths" because they have seen different sides and elements of it. Unless we're talking absolute truth which really doesn't exist for humans. We just have best theories. |

...doesn't exist for humans... This is not the same as it not existing at all. I voted "truth". I would prefer eating an ugly orange that still tasted like an orange to eating a pretty orange that was actually a spleen-ripping monster in disguise. |

This is not the same as it not existing at all. True, but for me it's the quest for truth that is more interesting than the truth itself. Scientifically getting closer and closer to a solid theory and all that jazz is fascinating to me. And then new theories arrive that turn all those previously believed truths to be rethought. |

If you say absolute truth doesn't exist, you're a knucklehead. That statement was trying to be an absolute truth, and disproved itself in the process.

Beauty is in both truth and deception. So, yeah, beauty is kinda already everywhere.

I was saying absolute truth is not within the grasp of us mere humans, not that it doesn't exist. Having read over what i was saying i'm not sure where i was coming from. Obviously being bored at work and unable to work on my minecraft mansion is making me think strange thoughts. |

When I consider that I've been lied to yet I found it beautiful, I guess in the end I have to go with the latter. Simple fact is, you'll never find the truth. Not to the meaning of life and the universe. So you might as well take the next best thing; Beauty.
