Quote by Neil Gaiman
It has always been the prerogative of children and half-wits to point out that the emperor has no clothes. But a half-wit remains a half-wit, and the emperor remains an emperor.
Summary
This quote suggests that while children and less intelligent individuals may be quick to see the truth and point out the flaws or wrongdoings of those in power, their assertions are often dismissed or overlooked. Despite their observations, the powerful figures or "emperors" maintain their authority and dominance. It implies that the less intelligent or naive are not taken seriously, and the hierarchy of power remains intact despite their critiques.
