Truth will ever be unpalatable to those who are determined not to relinquish error. -Edward Wortley Montagu

That is to say, those that are thoroughly convinced of error will never acknowledge and appreciate the goodness that is contained in truth.

The best example of this came in the form of Jesus Christ. The very embodiment of truth, the Pharisees and religious leaders of the time would not give ear to His doctrine, and ended up crucifying Him.

He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. -John 3:18-21
