Summary
This quote suggests that the essence of falsehood lies not in the words themselves, but rather in the reality or truths that those words depict. It implies that words can be manipulated or distorted to deceive, but the true falsehood stems from the distorted representation of facts, events, or ideas. In other words, it is not the mere use of false words that makes something untrue, but rather the misrepresentation of the underlying reality that the words are meant to convey.
