    mejor una verdad cruel que una ilusión cómoda.

    parempi julma totuus kuin mukava harha.

    एक आरामदायक भ्रम से बेहतर क्रूर सत्य।

    jobb kegyetlen igazság, mint kényelmes téveszme.

    lebih baik kebenaran yang kejam daripada khayalan yang nyaman.

    ಆರಾಮದಾಯಕ ಭ್ರಮೆಗಿಂತ ಕ್ರೂರ ಸತ್ಯ.

    ஒரு வசதியான மாயையை விட ஒரு கொடூரமான உண்மை.

    సౌకర్యవంతమైన మాయ కంటే క్రూరమైన సత్యం మంచిది.

    آرام دہ اور پرسکون فریب سے بہتر ظالمانہ حقیقت۔

    残酷的事实胜过舒适的妄想。
