Quote by Thomas Sowell

There are only two ways of telling the complete truth - anonymously and posthumously.


There are only two ways of telling the complete truth - anon

Summary

This quote suggests that complete truth can only be expressed when one remains anonymous or when one is no longer alive. It implies that people often withhold or alter the truth when faced with the consequences or judgment that may follow. Anonymity allows individuals to freely express themselves without fear of repercussions, while posthumous truth-telling refers to the unveiling of undisclosed information after one's death when potential consequences no longer exist. This quote highlights the limitations and obstacles in presenting absolute honesty in a society that may discourage or punish it.
