Quote by Leonardo DaVinci, note book
The mole has very small eyes and it always lives under ground; and it lives as long as it is in the dark but when it comes into the light it dies immediately, because it becomes known;--and so it is with lies.
Summary
This quote draws a parallel between moles and lies, highlighting their similarities. The mole is depicted as an animal that thrives in darkness, analogous to lies thriving when concealed or kept hidden. When exposed to the light, the mole dies as it becomes known, implying that lies, too, can perish when brought into the open and exposed to truth or scrutiny. This quote suggests that lies cannot survive when they are brought into the light of honesty and transparency.
