Quote by John Malkovich

A dog that has rabies probably will do things it wouldn't do if it didn't have rabies. But that doesn't change the fact that it has rabies.

A dog that has rabies probably will do things it wouldn't do

Summary

This quote emphasizes that an individual's actions or behaviors may change due to certain circumstances or conditions, but those changes do not alter the underlying reality or truth of their situation. Using the example of a dog with rabies, it implies that the dog's unusual behavior may be a result of the disease, but it doesn't negate the fact that the dog is infected with rabies. In a broader context, it suggests that temporary deviations from the norm do not invalidate the inherent truth or condition of a person or situation.
