Summary
This quote implies that if something, be it a belief, an idea, or a concept, can be dismantled or demolished simply by presenting the truth, then it is not worth preserving or upholding. It suggests that if the foundation of something is weak or based on falsehood, it should be exposed and eliminated for the sake of truth and integrity. The quote encourages embracing the power of truth to discard anything that cannot withstand scrutiny or withstand its illuminating effects.
