Summary

This quote suggests that sometimes giving factual information alone can be misleading or deceptive. While it is commonly assumed that telling the truth is always accurate, this quote challenges that notion by emphasizing how context, omission of important details, or selective presentation of facts can distort the true meaning or create a false impression. In certain situations, dishonesty may arise not from lying, but from deliberately using the truth to manipulate or mislead others. Hence, this quote highlights the complexity of communication and the need to consider the complete picture before drawing conclusions.
