Quote by William Saroyan
Everything and everybody is sooner or later identified, defined, and put in perspective. The truth as always is simultaneously better and worse than what the popular myth-making has it.
Summary
This quote emphasizes that over time, everything and everyone is categorized, labeled, and given a specific meaning or role in society. However, it suggests that the ultimate truth about something or someone can be both better and worse than what popular beliefs or stories depict. It implies that while society creates myths or narratives to explain and understand things, these simplified versions may not capture the full complexity or reality of the situation.
