Quote by Henry David Thoreau
Where there is a lull of truth, an institution springs up. But the truth blows right on over it, nevertheless, and at length blows it down.
Summary
This quote highlights the idea that when there is a lack of truth or transparency in a certain situation, people and organizations tend to establish institutions to fill that void. However, regardless of these attempts to suppress or manipulate the truth, it eventually emerges and exposes the falsehoods. In essence, no matter how much effort is put into concealing the truth, it will inevitably prevail and dismantle any institution or construct built upon deception.
