Quote by Karen Joy Fowler

A man says something. Sometimes it turns out to be the truth, but this has nothing to do with the man who says it.

A man says something. Sometimes it turns out to be the truth

Summary

This quote emphasizes that the accuracy or truthfulness of a statement should not be solely linked to the person who speaks it. It suggests that the validity of what is said should be judged based on its own merit or evidence, rather than relying solely on the reputation or character of the speaker. In this context, the quote suggests that even an individual with a history of dishonesty or questionable motives can occasionally state something that is factually correct. Therefore, the focus should be on evaluating the content of the statement itself for determining its accuracy, rather than solely relying on the person delivering it.
