Quote by Emily Dickinson

The truth must dazzle gradually or every man be blind.

The truth must dazzle gradually or every man be blind.

Summary

This quote by Emily Dickinson suggests that the truth is often complex and overwhelming, and it cannot be fully comprehended all at once. It should be revealed carefully and gradually, allowing individuals to slowly absorb its meaning. If truth is revealed too abruptly or in a glaring manner, people may be unable to fully understand or accept it, becoming blinded by its full impact. Therefore, it is important to deliver the truth with patience and subtlety, giving individuals the opportunity to perceive and interpret it at their own pace.
