Official truths are often powerful illusions

Summary

This quote suggests that information or statements presented as official or authoritative can sometimes be deceiving or misleading. It implies that people in positions of power or authority may manipulate facts or present biased narratives to protect their interests or maintain control over others. Therefore, it is essential to critically evaluate and question official truths rather than blindly accepting them, as they may omit important details or present a distorted version of reality.
