Summary

This quote suggests that slogans, which are powerful, catchy phrases or messages, can sometimes overpower the truth. When we are bombarded with slogans that are designed to appeal to our emotions and manipulate our beliefs, we may become unable to distinguish what is true from what is simply persuasive. These slogans can be so loud and captivating that they drown out the voice of reason and critical thinking, not allowing us to hear or understand the truth that lies beyond the surface.
